This is very comfortable, warm accommodation with items which that worked and were not unreliable (except the can opener). We did request the beds be separate on our booking which they weren’t but we managed! The hot water for shower or bath was tepid, not sure why? But I am being a bit picky, overall for the price and location it was excellent and perfect for us.
