    “A well presented property with good facilities local information folder and large wall map was a valuable and informative.”

    Welcome tray with flowers and milk tea and coffee was thoughtful. The bed was king-size and comfortable. The sofa a 2 seater opposite the TV was not so comfy as its had more use but a minor issue. Helpful owner on hand if required was re- assuring. Overall an excellent location clean great property to stay.

    Hello Julie, Thanks for leaving lovely feedback and I'm glad the map was useful! I'm sorry you found the sofa not so comfy - it is only a couple of years old so not sure why... I'll take a look and see if there is anything we can do to make it more squishy! I'm glad that overall you had a great stay and we'd love to welcome you back in the future! Becky Property Owner
