We have stayed here before and the second visit didn’t disappoint. Easy walking distance to town. Very comfortable. Spa at the end of the day was fabulous!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
The place should not be advertised to accommodate 12 people with space for only a 3 seater couch in an extremely tiny living area. The kitchen is very old and smelly. There were mice inside the house and they had a feast on our bread loaf. Fire place was a warm welcome but not much space to allow few adults to sit around and enjoy. The back yard is spacious and green, basketball ring keeps children busy and SPA is a relaxing escape. The back room is modern and clean but TV was not working.
