It was very clean and tidy. The main bedroom was very spacious and lots of cupboard space and having a toilet and a washbasin in the room was a bonus. We also liked the dog exercise field which was a lovely idea. There was also a lovely cafe next door which sold the most amazing bacon butty ever using local produce. We did have a couple of issues but this was dealt with very quickly with the owner who was lovely and we were very impressed with the speed our issues were dealt with. If you want a quiet chilled out holiday book here! We couldn't fault anything. We will be back! Thank you very much Rob! Carol and Dave and family

The onsite 'dog park' is also very pleasant and a great addition to the locality. The property was located extremely close to a main road (approx. 5m away from the road), which created a lot of additional noticeable noise through the stay. I would have liked to have known this, or had the ability to see the siting on the park prior to arrival, as I would not have chosen this. The kitchen was lacking some equipment which made it challenging to cook meals. There was only one tray for the over, and pans/utensils that appeared to have seen better days. More equipment would certainly be beneficial to future visitors. Overall cleaning standards were satisfactory, but the shower head was heavily scaled and was challenging to keep in a position suitable for showering.
