The accommodation was in a good location. Probably a little smaller than what we thought from the photos, especially the bathroom. The owner was very responsive to messages and seemed like a very nice person. The only downside was the room smelled a little damp. Probably needed airing a bit. s

Helen right from the start made our stay a real pleasure. Everything was beyond expectation and felt like a home away from home. We had to take our old wee dog with us and there was no stress at all as the property was well set up. Thank you so much! We'll be back 😊👍
