I must credit the owner for the cleanliness again, Its always 100% inside. A bit disappointed with the maintenance of the garden, the grass was covered with leaves, and because some cats use the garden as a toilet, you had to walk carefully. All in all a great place to stay and we look forward to our return

Everything we needed. Great secure garden only a small gap found but easily covered so my 2 Greyhounds loved it. Great location for getting out and about. You needed to bring your own towels but that's not an issue. Would definitely think about booking here again.
