    Mould everywhere my partner had trouble breathing and had to sleep down stairs steps in back garden are unsafe for someone with a disability like my partner. We had to wear coats indoors as very cold and heating not very good.

  • Susan

    Back garden was great for the dogs.

  • Avril

    Great location for walking & days out not far to drive at all. Great local fish n chips & various cafes. Would definitely stay here again.
