Summary: We felt that we had to comment on the driveway up to the house, which is in need of maintenance. Saying it can be slippery is not really fair warning because the drive is potholed and on a tricky camber at some points. You have to be very careful to stay within the gravelled tracks or risk going into a steep ditch. This happened to us and we were lucky to get out of it. It marred our stay because every ascent and descent was done with tredpidation and we dared not risk it at night. Also there were no instructions for the hot tub.
