“Just perfect”
If you are looking for something a little quirky or different, this is definitely the place to book. The facilities were amazing and the place is deceivingly big. I was half expecting the size of a caravan but this was much bigger with comfy beds and full size shower. The whole place was spotless. Breakfast was such a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend.
