2 night stay
The property was great and as advertised. Sadly however, tepid hot water all during our stay until we discovered on the last morning that the thermostat on the combi boiler has been turned right down! Suggest that a collection of 'normal' coffee/tea mugs be provided (we were worried about using the 'collectables'). Suggest also a set of 3 saucepans with lids for the stove. However that said, an amazing property situated in a beautiful small town. The chapel was very well appointed, clean and inviting.
