The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful if you need any assistance or advice. The only minor things I would note are that the temperature of the hot water was scalding and could do with being turned down; also the thermostatic shower control was defective and could not be adjusted to make the shower cooler. My party all enjoy hot showers so it wasnât really a problem for us. Would definitely return again.

Basically a nice property but tired. We found the settee and double bed uncomfortable. The facilities were ok but we did not get the log burner starter kit, nor loo roll. It was a good job we brought some with us.
