There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

I liked the peaceful location, the cleanliness, and the facilities. We had everything that we needed, and it was a lovely upgrade from camping. Having our own bathroom and kitchen in the pod makes it convenient and comfortable compared to similar places we have stayed in the past. We enjoyed making use of the BBQ/ fire pit that has been provided for each pod.

Everything was fantastic. Andrea & Gareth welcomed our group with warm, fresh baked bread. The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths were perfect for our group. They have hairdryers in all 3 bedrooms and the master bedroom has an iron & board. We used the washer/dryer, which is hidden in an under stairs closet. The location was tucked behind a church, but right off of High St. (the main street).

    The rooms were lovely and spacious and very clean. The facilities in the cottage were good and it was in a beautiful location. It was only myself and my mum, but we could have easily had my family stay there as there was more than enough room. Kitchen facilities were good, although we didn't actually do much cooking when we were there. Would definitely go back.

    The location was ideal, just one mile from the town centre. Everything was very clean, and although the room was quite compact, it was perfect for my needs. I didn't take any breakfast, as I was eager to leave early the next morning, so I can't comment on that. I would use this accommodation again.
