  • "This was our second visit to the property, initial visit 5 years ago."

    Nothing has changed/been upgraded in the accommodation, although bathroom very clean/spacious, large comfortable bed etc. A few minor bits including: main door to accommodation needs a little attention, gap in door, lock loose and door in need of painting. There was also a chipped plate in cupboard and a few marks on cushions etc. The grounds are nowhere near as well maintained as they were 5 years ago, feels run down and hanging on in there - compared to how it was. We enjoyed our 4 nights stay as a base for visiting sites/places in the local area.
