Nice, with good location, but difficult for seniors
We are 2 seniors in our 70s. We knew that there would be stairs, but the listing did not reflect the magnitude of the stairs involved. Perhaps that was our fault for not asking enough questions, but the listing could be more forthright.On arrival, you have two choices. The rear parking area is fine, but the path down to the house is loose stones, so prepare to carry your luggage down. You can access the house from the street, but it is also steep, and the walkway is rough stones with limited ability to roll heavy luggage.Once inside the house, the stairway is steep and has angled treads at the top and bottom. When we booked the rental there were no pictures of the stairs in the listing. There was a (evidently newly installed) rope bannister on the right. Note that I said 'was.' The bannister was poorly installed, and was already loose on the wall when we arrived. I had a slip coming down the stairs because I missed one of the angled steps. I was holding on to the wooden bannister, but probably instinctively grabbed the rope, and it fully came loose from the wall. Just using the wooden bannister was hard enough for me, but wife is not tall, and even reaching it was a challenge.If you're up for the challenge of the access, the rest of the house is really fine. The shower would benefit from the addition of a hand shower.The location is great.its in easy (although steep) walking distance of the town, restaurants and the wonderful Royal Dornoch Golf Club.
