This absolutely is a hidden gem. Everything you could possibly need during your stay. Kids loved the pool table and darts while us parents enjoyed a relaxing time in the hot tub . The leisure centre wasn’t far so the kids went swimming and everything you need is on your door step. Only 1 minuscule issue was the driveway is very steep but I’ll just park on the road next time .Haven in the burn I would recommend 100%.♥️
