No need for a gym. Property bijou but fine, though hall a little narrow when the dog permanently blocks it. Corris a lovely village. Pub and cafe well worth visiting. Also the steam railway and the Italian 'village'.

Also the communication with Peter was good. The things that can be improved are cleanliness (there was a surplus of animal fur, and everything was very dusty) and it gets damp quickly.

Quiet and peaceful. Owner very helpful, friendly and prompt to respond to any quires you may have. The 40 steps to the premises from the parking place would be a challenge for people who are less physically fit.
