Overall it was a lovely place. Well equipped very clean and tidy.
Love place. Only 1 problem for all 4 of us was we found the beds very uncomfortable. Too hard.

Thanks Lynette for your review so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Sorry about the mattresses they are brand new so hence probably why they were a bit hard but then everyone is different so I'm guessing they would not suit all. Hope you will visit us again kind regards Knockerdown Team
