The toilet in the second bedroom was a no go for us as itâs obviously designed for very small people so having to go downstairs in the night to use the bathroom was a bit of a pain! Apart from that we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the weekend.

We loved the location with walks straight out the door, the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and pans, and the bed super comfy. Will definitely be booking again.
