Easy, comfy stay

We had 3 nights at this lovely property. Parking on site was easy and a 5 minute walk to the main street and eateries. Beds very comfy, nice showers and good amenities including a full size fridge. Staff were excellent and helped us out with all of our questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Property was in a great convenient location. The rear door was out of order when we were there. Hopefully this gets fixed as its quite annoying to have to walk the long way around.

Reserved multiple rooms for a work function. Arrived to find out that my booking was cancelled due to staff error, no comms provided. After a while of waiting, managed to secure vacant rooms albeit smaller/less than what I’ve paid for. Follow-up done but refund/compensation provided. Good accommodation but very disappointing handling of their reservation error.
