Great location, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Very well equipped, however, a cafetière would have been useful as we only took filter coffee!

The old jail view was the most perfect accommodation, there was nothing that would have improved it . As we are pensioners the walk up to the accommodation was a bit challenging
