Our holiday was cut short by 2 days as the house attached was being renovated. Constant noise from 8am to 4pm. Couldn't use the television. Holiday spoilt.

The location was excellent for all attractions and amenities. There were a few wee niggles eg washer out of order, beds very soft and low, no clocks working, toilet seat broken. But overall we didn't let it spoil our stay.
