Overnight stay

Changed our booking to accommodate three adults instead of two so were moved to unit 5. Was pouring with rain the day we stayed- upstairs bedroom had a leak in the roof so ended up using the rubbish bucket plus a dish towel to try to alleviate the problem. Downstairs shower over the bath flooded the bathroom floor so ended up using most of the hand towels to soak this up. Beds were very comfortable . Left super early so can’t comment on anything else about the property . Owner was very nice . Communication was great
