We were so impressed from when we first walked into the house, it is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed in it. It was awesome to get ready there plenty of room and lots of showers to choose from. We even ended up taking our photos around the house instead of Rabbit Island cause it was to wet and windy to go there. There were plenty of places around the house perfect for photos. Great to come back there too and lovely and cosy with the fire going, had amazing sleeps in the lovely comfortable beds."
