Great place to stay but public transport is poor and unreliable you need a car because it's a bit away from nearest town

Facility was a perfect location for where we were visiting, very quiet and comfortable. Had all modern amenities. Only thing I could suggest is to replace shower head in Master, was falling off and sprayer was not great, but other bath made up for it.

Good for a basic base
Bit basic but not bad as a base for a few days.
On street parking can be difficult as it is situated in the middle of a housing estate.
Furniture could do updating as it’s rather tatty and some of it a bit wobbly. Property is for upto 6 people but only seating in the lounge area for 4.
2 good bathrooms and downstairs WC.
Nice big fridge/freezer if you’re planning on self catering.
