I was impressed with how clean the property was. The bed linen was very comfortable and we slept well. The owner was lovely and gave us an upgrade to room with two beds so my daughter and I didn’t have to share. The property is old and dated but very clean. Price was excellent and would be happy to stay here again.

It was mean. No hair dryer, no iron, no ironing board, no crockery or cutlery, no toaster, no microwave, no breakfast makings even though there was nowhere nearby for breakfast, tiny, tiny TV, no cupboards, no rack for a suitcase, thin towels, dim lights. Most of this could have been fixed by investing one nights tariff.
