Great location for us

Laurie the owner was lovely. I phoned ahead to advise we were running late & it wasn’t a problem. On arrival we chatted with Laurie for about 1/2 hr - great communication and quite a lot in common with us. Lots of plans to change how the venue and how it is used. On approach the accommodation looks in need of tlc but it’s happening. Our room was very comfortable and had all we needed for a nights stay.
