Great location and amenities
Old but clean and all amenities provided - only drawback was that property not fenced which made it a bit awkward with the dogs.

Great weekend away
Was great to be able to bring our dogs on this short family break. It was a little annoying not being able to just let them out into the yard as the property is not fenced (we did know this when we booked - it just happened to be a very cold weekend so we had to go out for toilet breaks!). We had everything we needed for spending some time together. The large stainless dining table was awesome.

Great location
We really enjoyed the location of the property and had a wonderful time. The bathroom/laundry was basic - no basin only a laundry sink. Sitting out on the deck was a definite highlight.
