Guests have found the property to be very comfortable and homely, with comfortable seating and adequate heaters. However, some guests mentioned inadequate heating and creaky floors, indicating that comfort could be enhanced.

Towels very thin with big stains on a couple of them. Some rust and mildew in shower. No internet access although advertised with internet. Would only connect for a few seconds. Explained to owners but wasnât rectified while we were there. Owners very friendly but property really needs updating and would then be 4 *
