Another fabulous stay at Bank Top - can't fault this place, and the owners. Home from home. Perfect location for us. Weather being mid-heatwave was a bonus, as it often rains when we're here. Very relaxing break.

However, if it is peace and quiet you are looking for then this may not be the place for you. You are very close to the owners home who have young children 2 yappy dogs and a quad bike. Unfortunately we weren't greeted by the owners but were very much aware of their presence.
