    Lots of added extras which we were not expecting, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc., very comfortable beds and all needs met. The place is quiet and perfect for a relaxing break but with lots to do not so far away, very helpful info in the book and from Martin and Hazel, cannot recommend this place enough.
