Mark
Comfy beds, best Iâve slept in years. New blinds throughout as one previous guest was complaining. Enjoyed our stay here. Minor negative points: Shower a bit fiddly as comes off taps, but nice and hot and water flow good. The bracket comes off wall. Dont hesitate in booking. Offered good value.

They were really unacceptable. Broken and didnât provide any level of light reduction to help sleep. The shower was a bit dodgy, only a tap adaption not a real shower, very outdated. Fell off the fitting too. Unusual to not have a welcome pack, no milk etc in the house. Especially as itâs so remote from any shops etc. poor.

Surprised to find shampoo & conditioner plus shower gel. Tea/coffee/sugar was also provided. We had a problem with the front door key, phoned the owner & a locksmith was on the phone to me within the hour, problem solved. My daughter & myself had a really relaxing 10 days at this property & we would both not hesitate to recommend it.
