"My Husband & fur babies stayed here for 6 nights , it is a lovely house , lounge & kitchen were nice & large . Beds were comfortable , but unfortunately I didnt realise that we needed to take sheets & towels , it states it in the descriptions , but I didnt see it , so luckily we always carry alot of towels in the car , but had to go shopping for sheets , which abit annoying , it is a shame you dont cater for this in your Air B & B . And on the final night 2 smoke alarms decided to go off , 1st one at 11pm , 2nd one about midnight & the only way we could get them to stop , was unscrew them from ceiling as Husband couldnt take the battery out ."

"Great host, very helpful. Immaculate unit which has been recently stylishly refurbished I understand. Unusual to see a hob in there as well plus a microwave. Didnt use the hob myself but a great addition for someone who wants to cook their own meals rather than rely on the very limited food offerings. Would definately stay here again."
