The whole stay was fantastic and exactly what we needed. We were a group of 11 on a hen do. All of the beds including the sofa beds were comfortable, everything was clean and the little extras of having a coffee machine and milk in the fridge for our arrival was greatly appreciated. Would 100% recommend this location. It was bigger than we expected and feel the pictures do not do it justice!
