Lovely rustic renovation, very sympathetic to the bakery it once was. Huge rear open deck for looking at the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Very well-equipped kitchen, with real wine glasses (rare!). Spacious and comfortable lounge, completely separate from the kitchen/dining area. The house is located on the main road, but noise from passing traffic was minimal. Learmonth is a friendly, historic and pretty town.
