Cozy
Absolutely loved the property and will def be back. Property oozes relaxation. Beds are small and my partner and I needed to sleep in different rooms to try to get sleep. Sleep is really important to travellers and an upgrade in the beds is highly recommended. Double bed in master bedroom rattles and has some sharp bits visible.
