Home truths

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There is also private parking.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
