  • Philip

    A nice kitchen area with plenty of utensils. A quiet location. Off road parking for a small car or on street parking if not. CON's 2 large smart tv's but neither are hooked up to an aerial (so no live TV) so you have to use the apps (your own accounts) but the WiFi is poor so the app keeps crashing out. Therefore no reliable TV. Large mould/rising damp area on the wall by the top side of the bed, inches away from your face when you're in bed. This is really poor for a holiday let and needs to be rectified. This is the part that let the property down the most.

    Lovely and snug for the few nights I was there with snow, ice and Storm Bert. Beautifully fitted, well equipped kitchen

  • Paul

    We only had one issue. We couldn't work the TV (Young people wont have a problem). But a quick phone call to the courteous owner soon fixed it. Lynn was there before I could end the call. A lovely lady with lots of useful local information. Would Highly recommend.
