This is the second time we have stayed at Walla Crag. It is very well equipped and comfortable. It is in a very central location. Would definitely stay again for a third time.

This holiday home is very well equipped and it’s clean with comfortable beds. Both showers were good, although the downstairs one has a low ceiling so not for the tall people!! The only improvement I would make would be to add curtains to the bedrooms as there is a very bright security light from a property behind which shines in all night. Kind of irritating for those that sleep lightly. There was a nice selection of games to be played. A spare key in the lockbox would be handy for silly people like us who lock themselves out 😂. We would definitely return to this property. It has everything you need, and more!!
