We weren't able to get along with the TV to put the volume up or the towel heating Inthe bathroom but didn't really bother us. Pretty sure if we asked they would have told us how to handle it tho. Overall we will recommend as we had an amazing time.

I think privacy was my issue. There was a lack of it. I stayed 4 nights with my partner and we arrived late the first night, the next morning l felt the owner was trying to make himself visible to say hello which wasnât necessary. And they also took note that we arrived late the night before..not sure why it mattered to him. They also have their childrenâs/grandchildren roaming the garden and they have a bench right next to the snug where they sit which again is a lack of privacy because they would sometimes sit there when they know weâre staying there. The driveway is stone but where you are designated to park there is an awful lot of stones and sometimes your cars tyres would sink and it may be slow getting out of the stones. And itâs the only place on the driveway with too many stones. A lot of insects too you will wake up with a few spiders on the walls and ceilings. If the privacy was greater I would recommend it.
