Unfortunately there were a lot of cobwebs, spiders etc in the property as it looked as if it hadn’t been used for a while. The stairs were narrow with a bend at the top- not suitable for someone with mobility problems! Overall a dated property in need of refurbishment.

Brilliant location. Really enjoyed our stay. We even had a heron that visited morning and evening also a family of swans. The accommodation could have been better looked after, and the television did not get terrestrial television. Saying that I would visit again for the location.

This place has the potential to be amazing, the location and facilities are great!The place is tired, and needs some tlc. The carpet was not great, despite signs to remove shoes.The showers were not good, very low water pressure and not consistent temperature.The mattresses on the beds were not to comfortable. We had a great time but the accommodation needs a good clean and some money spent.
