Good location. The accomodation would benefit with somewhere to dry clothes, we were lucky as the weather was good, however, the rotary line was not secured and kept falling over, the handful of pegs supplied We're broken. There was no iron or board. The complementary biscuits was a nice touch had they not of been 9 months expired.
