The bungalow was labelled as wheelchair accessible- but on arrival it was obviously not accessible by wheelchair as there was a disparity between the top of the ramps and the sills of the door. I had to be manhandled in by my family - which was extremely distressing.

An excellent, warm, comfortable spot for a quiet week away.. The internet service is good. Well located to explore the surrounding area. The TV was too smart for us (elderly couple) but Alice gave a helping hand. and will sort out any little niggles or queries. Very easy for any disabled person as it is all one level. Just make sure you use the What3words location if you need to get someone to you that doesn't know the location - the Postcode is not sufficient. We thoroughly recommend this spot.
