The only slight trouble we had was that the shower only stayed hot for about two minutes and then it got really cold, but we managed and it didnât ruin our trip.

We had a little explore into the village which had some really nice pubs to have a drink and relax. The only thing that was a struggle was the hot water on the shower but the owners were on hand and ready to help. We would definitely go again as we really enjoyed our stay.
