It's location is perfect for a quiet getaway, as it is far enough out to be peacefully, whilst being close to many local attractions. We would definitely return!

Great WiFi, heating and shower. Crockery and cutlery could do with being replaced as all mismatched and not enough glasses. Beds and bedding of good quality and comfortable. Bedrooms could do with black out blinds due to external lights on caravan park. Great location and owner very helpful and responsive.

Clean and well-equipped. Good space for our group of 5 (3 adults, 2 children). Good wifi, shower, heating and kids liked the toys. Some trouble with front door lock so had to use back door which was a bit of a hassle. Owner responded quickly at all times and quickly replaced all bulbs in side lamps when we requested on first day. A few more hooks on doors, especially bathroom, would have been helpful. I would return to this accommodation.
