The property is very dated. The shower had small dots of visible mold. Parking was difficult if you want to park late afternoon or evening, there is a boat and trailer that seem permanently parked and a couple staying were using two car parks so limited spaces available.

Lots of room and a great kitchen area. Friendly host and great security. I arrived late in the day, so it would have been nice to have the door and windows closed earlier, as it made for a cool night. The shower was poor pressure, but I didn't get a chance to check this with the owner - there may have been an issue. Otherwise, comfortable, good sleeps, easy week!
