Disliked: Cleanliness
The property is compact, looks smart and is well equipped. Unfortunately, there was a very strong and persistent smell of damp, especially downstairs, which really marred the stay.
Parking is available a few minutes walk away, the local village has everything you’d need and it’s a good spot to explore the area from.
