The beds are 10/10 comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, even has cleaning stuff available. Lovely quiet area with lots of amazing places to visit within a reasonable distance. 10/10 would recommend.

The tv kept turning itself off, we contacted the owner, he lived a long way away, but offered to buy a new one and expected us to collect it and set it up, we refused, he then said he would try to get someone to fix it, but it may take time. My partner had a look and discovered there was a problem with the ariel, we advised the owner and heard no more from him. One morning we discovered a black creature in the sink in the kitchen, we belive it to be a large about 3", cockroach. On the day we left we discovered a slug on the carpet in the living room.
