Great old place to stay. Very cosy with plenty of things to do.

Everything was as expected but on the description it says theres a hot tub we were very disappointed not having one there as it was one of the reasons we chose this property

Hi Alan. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed your stay but am a bit confused regarding the hot tub? We don’t have one at the property as you noted and can’t see that there is one mentioned anywhere in the property profile. Thanks, Sean

fantastic facilities

Was overwhelmed with the space in the pet friendly back yard, the overall layout was fantastic and we had the most relaxing holiday. unfortunately the fish were not biting so we made the most of the property. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants a pet friendly vacation holiday home. Thank you
