Apart from that really nice place. Only bizarre thing we thought was that we had to strip the bed, never had to do this anywhere else and I donât think it should be for the guests to do.

Perfect location for touring the area and very dog friendly. The maintenance chap Mark was super friendly and very busy as he has a lot of grounds to maintain. We could not use pool as we have dogs which meant someone has to be with them and there is no lone swimming. Understandable but disappointing. Little tip, take take salt and pepper as none provided and extra bin bags and washing up liquid. Would definitely come back.
