Hosts were not helpful as advert suggests, because this is within 10 metres of the hosts property felt there was absolutely no privacy felt like a goldfish being watched all the time. Property was very cluttered and simple items missing i.e. soapdish and shelf in shower plus others . Very dark day and night require lights on permanently. Corner settee very uncomfortable. Can't swing a cat in its so full. Not for anyone with slight disabled. Rules off email very armyfied

Lovely place to stay - well arranged, organised & equipped + secure outside for a dog. Excellent location for visiting places, & nearby pub serves delicious food (& allows dogs). Hopefully will be staying there again.
