Nice little annex but perhaps less suitable for over 70s
Property has a lovely large bed. Kitchen is a good size as is sitting room. Steps up to front door. Settee not so comfortable for over 70s. Bathroom small and no shelf. Had to put electric toothbrushes and teeth cleaning stuff in kitchen. Put mirror for drying hair on dining table as no facility in bedroom. Windows were dirty inside and out. Door to outside at back dirty as was front door. Shower cubicle and ceiling were mouldy. Bathroom door touch points dirty.

Lovely little property
Very lovely place. Some good country walks, though perhaps a little far from the nearest pub.

Great Place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Squirrel’s Nest. The property was very clean and fresh, and well equipped. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal being in the centre of the island and on a bus route. We also enjoyed walks up the lane which had lovely views across the hills.
