We enjoyed our stay. No hairdryer in the room. No dressing gowns We found the accommodation very difficult to find the numbers of the cottages where that small we had to get out the car to read what number it was. A very good breakfast

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Not worth the money

Property is in serious need of maintenance. Rooms are very outdated and furniture is old and extremely dirty. The couch is covered with an old blanket to “hide” the filthy old cushions and armrests are brown and greasy from the filth. Public areas is dilapidated and rundown with no attention to detail, weeds growing between paving, grass is overgrown etc etc. Television is extremely old. This place is clearly not living up to its potential and very poorly managed.
