Everything we needed was at hand and fittings were to a high standard. The owners are delightful and very helpful. The only thing people should be aware of is that the property is on three floors, with the kitchen down stairs,living room in the middle and the bedroom and bathroom on the top floor. Some one with mobility problems might have difficulty. All I can say is that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time. Itâs on 3 floors. The ground floor is a well equipped kitchen. The second floor is a nice lounge, with a log burning stove. The bedroom is a mezzanine above. The shower room off it is small but adequate. The bedroom is also small but with a decent sized comfortable bed. The building seems to retain its heat and was snug. The spiral staircase is a little tricky to negotiate, particularly with a case. The TV has Freeview stations, but nothing more. Colin the owner was so helpful & pleasant, and Clareâs jam and marmalade were delicious.
