We had a fantastic stay, the house is super cute, and there is everything you need there. We had fun looking through all the games and it was great that there were little 'extras' in the cupboards when it came to dinner time. Fully recommend

5/5 - Excellent

We would, and may go back to stay another time. Would definitely recommend.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The wrinkly ram is only open for breakfast and lunch. Had an OK meal in hotel. More like a canteen and had to ask reception person to get us a drink as bar was not open. Building needs a lot of work as dated and tired but was OK for one night.
