The only thing I would note is it is about a 1/2 mile drive down a track and can be bumpy but if you go slow as recommended you will be fine . It would not put us off staying again. It was love to see cows and sheep right opposite the accommodation. Just be careful if you go for a walk especially with dogs as there was few bulls and a lot of cows.
