Really good place. Clean. Good location. Enough beds. A awesome selection of cutlery, good sized bowls and glasses. Shower great.For us next time we’ll probably look to pay a bit more somewhere else and have a dryer, internet, linen & towels. That’s only our preference as it was really good overall.

6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
A quaint cottage. Well equipped with everything you need. The beds and furniture are unfortunately well past their useful time and we found them very uncomfortable. The location is great, the hosts are great and if they replace the beds and furniture I’d rate it 5.
