It provides everything needed and more and all to a high standard). The surroundings are amazing for walks and gorgeous views. We will definitely be back!

The accommodation is small but adequate for a short stay. However, in the kitchen /living area there is an uncomfortable bucket chair and a very low, small 2 seater sofa. No good for anyone with back or arthritis problems, we turned round and went home. Very disappointed

Extraction in shower/toilet not working or has been removed. Also no windows in these facilities, therefore, not acceptable - owners notified.
