Slept in main bedroom, take eye mask as curtains thin. No noise from Main Street+ parking on road after 6 pm, or nearby Sainsbury's car park, or round corner off Lantys Lonnen.Good shower in main bathroom. Only negative was cooked cabbage smell which lingered.

Also with a good central location with lots of local amenities close by. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Bastle House for this week. Also, this house was very cosy, easy to keep warm and with ample hot water for showers.

Everything you could need is there to use. All our family had a brilliant stay, and would stay again. Even our dog enjoyed herself. Only thing we could not do was unlock front door. Amanda
