The goodies left by Colin and Jill was an added bonus, place was lovely and clean, location suited us. We would of loved to come back next year but the bed is stopping us.

The description is very misleading. It is more like a mile and is very, very very steep. There is an easier alternative route Which is about twice as far. We would not have booked if we -had known, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
