"Vi valgte dette B&B pga poolen, som der var flere fotos af, så stor var skuffelsen da der ikke var skyggen af en pool. Havde vi vidst det det havde vi valgt et andet sted. Det ligger meget landligt i udkanten af en landsby med marker omkring, så ikke et sted for børn selvom der er en rigtig sød hund. Pænt rent og fin morgenmad og de virker søde men forstår ikke meget engelsk"
