Instructions on how to get there were good. Remote location with very good views. Very clean and tidy inside and out. No padding in mud or anything else near the property. I think the only thing missing and we normally take our own but didn't this time were kitchen paper and tin foil. Great area to visit. Would definitely re book here if visiting the area again.
