A great gem and enjoyed our stay but a few things made it frustrating no dishwashing liquid no dish cloth only one tea towel with stains but only seating for three the fourth had to sit at the table. Not the greatest for us older people. TV didn’t work so had to stream from phone

Very cold, dirty , inadequate shower temperature and hopeless flow volume , bedding completely substandard. Kitchen hadn’t been cleaned with mouldy smelly rubbish from previous occupants still in kitchen rubbish tin, dead flies everywhere and surfaces covered in grime. Although we paid for 2 nights we could only endure 1.
