Great value, beautiful location. Unfortunately my husband put his back out while visiting our daughter & found the bed too soft but it was comfortable.

Nice and quiet, lovely views, friendly and helpful owner and private. Kitchen really well equipped, warm, plenty of hot water, and there was a TV (although the emails said there wasn't). Unfortunately the boiler was a bit loud in one of the bedrooms and fired up at 3am every morning, but apart from that it was great.
