Very well equipped wee place

Close to city, convenient and comfortable. Really good communication (although slightly creepy to get a text saying ‘I see you have checked in...’) and nicely decorated unit. Couldn’t get heat pump to work quite the way I’d wanted,and panel heater in bedroom didn’t work. But well equipped kitchen, and great to have a spa and a washing machine (not that I used that)

Comfortable weatherproof hotel

Arrived here during a big winter storm. Large unit but easily heated with one heater which we had to turn off overnight because we would have overheated. The extra facilities like minigolf and bicycles weren't any good in the pouring rain, but would help keep young kids occupied in better weather.
