It was light, spacious, modern and clean. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Guest beware though - the driveway is a little bridge over a ditch that isn't easily visible. The neighbour, Brian was very helpful pulling my Uncle's car out of the ditch - we think he might have done it once or twice before. ##### Kate S.
