You should stress the tranquility of Lerryn - a good deal of the time the only perceptible noise was birdsong

Good quality equipment and modern fittings. Well equipped and a nice welcome pack of local foody treats. Nice village and very good local shop. Exceptionally small bathroom and spiral staircase so tight that it was not possible to take the suitcase upstairs safely. Parking was a problem near the property as there was great competition for space. The alternative offered was the village car park about 300 yards away but parts of this car park can flood at the highest tides. Also at the higher tides the road from the village to the property flooded, restricting access. Had to be mindful of tides when coming and going....

Thanks for your review of Little Gem, we're glad that you enjoyed your stay. The property is 'small but perfectly formed' (to borrow from our description!) and we appreciate that the spiral staircase is a little trickier to negotiate with luggage than a standard flight of stairs. The river is tidal and on the very highest tides a few times a year, some roads in the area and the village car park can see some flooding for a couple of hours - the lovely village shop sells tide tables and you can always ask a local resident if you need to know the times.
