The hot tub was fantastic, nice temperature and very private. Very friendly staff who gave a very warm welcome. The internet is very poor. So please bear that in mind if you need to do any work at all. Even using the phone hotspot didn't help much. The T.V has freeview and the internet is free if you can get it. But the hot tub and netflix incur extra costs. However- the hot tub is well worth it.

Owner (Tim) was very helpful and friendly. Comfy beds, hot shower, plenty of space in our rental made it a very cosy trip and as the WiFi is intermittent maybe enjoy a tech free break.
