The garden was a highlight after a day out where we enjoyed the sun and hot tub most of the night. The area is also great with so much nearby. We enjoyed it that much my parents have just booked for.in a few weeks

The property is a little dated and tired and the traffic noise is more intrusive than the listing suggests especially from Lorries rattling through. This is especially noticeable when trying to use the hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub was not fully working as the jacuzzi/bubbles element was broken and we werenât told before we arrived. In addition the oven thermostat didnât work which meant no temperature control and so the oven could not be used. This was reported to the owner during our stay. Not withstanding this we did enjoy our break away.

This is a attached annex to the owners property. Very overlooked as the living room windows are right by the owners carpark, so it felt like a goldfish bowl The beds were very small and uncomfortable. The owners popped in to the garden every day! Though tried not to disturb us. Great pubs with lovely food locally.
