We asked for a new frying pan as the one in the property was very badly scratched, and enquired if a mattress topper could be provided as we were getting bad backs from the bed. These were promptly provided; we also reported areas in the property which had layers of dust. The Kitchen is well equipped but the fridge freezer could easily be replaced. It was good to have an area at the back of the property for wet coats and boots. We enjoyed exploring the area but wouldn't stay at this property again.

The town had a couple of pubs, and cafés plus a CO- OP for groceries. We liked having a real fire to keep us warm in the evenings, it made for a lovely atmosphere after walking all day. The property would benefit from supplying a hair dryer and a mirror near a wall socket but other than that it had everything you could need.
