    “Lovely accommodation, fabulous setting.”

    Only minor issue was the upstairs sitting area was too hot to enjoy, as the windows did not open, and it got too hot underneath the amazing skylight roof. Nice but needed means of cooling, either windows for a through breeze, or aircon. We mentioned it to a member of staff, and he confirmed windows did not open. Did not spoil enjoyment of stay, we simply spent evenings outside, but thought it worth mentioning. Thank you.
