Not much around so recommend to take food supplies with you if you donât plan on driving out. Hot tub was lovely a warm, a small childrenâs park which was great & lots of sheep, goats, horses to look at. The only pitfall for us was the flies! During the hot weather the owner explained itâs something they have a problem with however as the accommodation was open plan there was no escape from them which did cause a problem in the evening when wanting to get some sleep. My parent killed over 80 flies just in one hour (he counted) which resulted in us leaving a day earlier as we didnât want to sleep another night for hygiene reasons.
