The wood burner and secure outdoor space are highlights, contributing to a cosy and enjoyable stay.
Most guests found the apartment clean and well-maintained, though a few noted areas needing a deep clean and attention to detail. The presence of cobwebs and a smelly drain were mentioned, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

Guests consistently report a comfortable stay, with special mention of comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere enhanced by the wood burner. However, some guests noted issues with heating and furniture suitability for disabled guests.
The apartment is generally seen as well-equipped, with a good kitchen and outdoor space. Criticisms include the need for more storage in the bathroom, better cleaning tools, and updates to some of the furniture and crockery.

We were comfortable and cosy. Gill, the house keeper was very friendly and attentive, lives nearby but certainly wasn't intrusive. The pub next door is an asset as is the bus which stops on the main road.
