    Bedrooms and bathrooms ideal as 4 of us on a walking holiday, beds very comfy, power showers are great, kitchen modern and very spacious and all utensils for a good stay. Only negative was no downstairs cloakroom, though perhaps space and plumbing for one. We would defo like to return

  • Kirsty

    Great location, very comfy beds, great kitchen facilities! Would definitely stay again!!

  • Julia

    It is worth noting, due to the age of the property, that the stairs are steep and spiral with a handrail on the outside only. I suspect older or less fit people might find them a bit of a challenge.
