Property is nice but with a few small changes could be better. For example the outside area had a lot of stinging nettles and was very unkempt. Inside of property was nice but basic, a few personal touches and more comfortable mattress and settees would help. Just feels that minimum has been added at the cheapest cost, yes, it is a business, but due to the afore mentioned I would not return and it wouldn’t cost much to make an improvement.

We really enjoyed our stay! We loved how private the hot tub area was and having the enclosed space for the dog. On the first day we noticed that the remote control to TV needed new batteries and the owners were over very quickly to help and replace. Thank you.
