We found the standard at the property well below others on offer. It was noisy, no facilities with regards to towels etc. There was barely enough room in the cabin to move.

Country escape

Very comfortable beds. Nice location. Great amenities. Tiny hut with no supplies at all. For the price we did expect tea n coffee n sugar sachets perhaps. Only 2 nice mugs and a kettle. Good size fridge but no milk. A few spider webs but otherwise very clean n tidy.

Une cabine pour une nuit

Il a fallu téléphoner à la réceptionniste qui était au pub pour avoir la clé de la cabine, alors que nous étions dans le créneau horaire imparti. Accueil minimaliste et rapide du coup. Sinon pour le reste rien à redire...
