Had a lovely night but the bed did not have any blankets just a thin cover so we had to use the electric blankets. Looked for a duvet in the wardrobes but nothing just pillows

A lovely environment with gardens etc. The en-suite bathroom was ‘tired’ and needed updating, and one of the couches very uncomfortable as the seating needed restrapping.

Property was very comfortable and staff brilliant, especially as our booking through Expedia Australia had not been sent through to them, luckily they were able to accommodate us, which was a relief after an 8 hour drive!!!
