It was an ideal location no hills ! It was ideal for our group having a little one and adults, we all had our own space. Our only criticism would be the double bed, it's very small especially having the bottom board on it so you keep hitting your feet on it. Hope to stay here again very soon. Thank you for letting us stay x

For a property of this price range the âmainâ bedroom provides a tiny bed not much larger than a large single! My partner is 6 ft 2 and it was ridiculous with his feet hanging over the end, not to mention the fact that we had to lie like two stone effigies in order to fit ! The room needs a new bed. We measured up and it is perfectly possible to get a 5 foot wide (King) bed into this room. It looks as though all the beds are old pine beds and this problem has not been addressed since about 2006 !! this is a simple fix and really needs to be done. I know I am not the first to have made the same complaint.

We just ran out of kitchen worktop space a couple of times... Great selection of childrens games. The sky tv was a nice surprise, however couldn't find the pin anywhere so our viewing was 'limited'
