Honest review

Please be aware you are booking only one room. All other areas are shared however these are exceptionaly clean. Don’t be intimidated by the rules book the host is lovely and behind every rule is an incident of thoughtlessness by a guest. breakfast, tea, coffee juice etc is the most generous I have ever seen. Including catering for allergies. We had a most enjoyable stay.

First outing after lockdown

This was so convenient for us as we had a new grandchild to welcome and spoil. We envisaged walking to visit, however unfortunately the weather did not support this. A wonderful week and so nice to actually be out of lockdown, safe practices observed.

Nice place, lots of potential

The website says there are two bedrooms but when we arrived apparently we had only booked one, so I ended up having to sleep on the couch. This could be clearer on the website. The facilities are well equipped and the place is kept clean. It's not a very private accommodation with the owner around.
