Only criticism is it is a little bit light on cooking equipment - and being 25 minutes from nearest cafes it really means you are going to cook on site. We have however learnt to cook pasta in an electric frypan! ##### Rod H.

Perfect place to lay our heads when treeline with pets. Clean, pretty and private - great value for money. Would have been nice if milk and sugar provided and possibly my error that I didnt notice it didnt have a tv or wifi. ##### Kathryn G.
