Lovely little place for a couple wanting to escape and enjoy the peace and quiet. Bathroom picture on website shows a bath and shower, however they have refurbished the bathroom and it’s now just a shower.

The room has a lot of potential but needs an update. The heating is poor and for the time of year that my fiancé and I were going it was needed. It needed a good dust and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work. The furniture was alright, old fashioned but worked in the room. The pots and pans all needed cleaning before we could use them. However, for the value of our stay we could look past this. One of the ceiling windows in the living area leaked a little.
