Difficult to find and despite advert no restaurant
The place was very difficult to find with poor signage. The room was lovely and bright maybe a little too bright as door had a window and 3 window blinds did not block outside lights at night. The room was self catering but as we were only staying one night we thought to use the advertised restaurant, this did not exist. However they very kindly managed to prepare some dinner for us. I would say if self catering this would be a nice quiet place to stay but not alot in the surrounding area to do.
