Margaret
Very friendly owners and situated in a good place for exploring out. If there was one thing Iâd say the mattress on the single bed wasnât very comfortable otherwise very good and may well visit again next year.

The listing for the property is inaccurate as it states 'pets welcome' NOT 'only one well behaved dog welcome'. Do not get caught out by this as you will have your booking terminated. Also this is an annexe to the main building with a shared small yard at the entrance where there is a clear view of the horde of items stacked within the owners property. There were stains on the carpet and a urine fragrance in the living area (suggest from previous dogs) whilst there was visible lack of cleaning around the toilet area with stains and dirt on the pipework and toilet surrounds, whilst the seat doesn't function properly.

Owners very friendly and approachable. Our holiday didn't turn out as planned as we both went down with a bug, but Nikki very sympathetic, offering shopping and an extra night's stay.
