Access to the external laundry area is down another ramp and a couple of steps.

Enter into the character-filled hallway to immediately find 2 bedrooms on either side. The larger of these bedrooms can be set up with either 2x Single beds, or 1x king bed. Ahead and around the corner is access to a third bedroom and family bathroom. At the end of the hall is the large open plan living / kitchen area, with a small dining table and additional breakfast bar. A laundry area is located under the property which van be accessed from outside.

A heat pump heats the living area, with an additional heater in each of the 2 front bedrooms. We also provide hot water bottles for each bed.

Great stay, everything we needed apart from a cork screw wine bottle opener!! With no electric blankets on the beds the hotties were great to find in the cupboard and helped to some extent. Sunny and warm, great Heatpump, easy lockbox check in. Definitely stay again
