The property is generally praised for its comfort, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests mention the double beds being small and a desire for extra blankets, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities are highly rated, with the property being well-equipped for large groups. The kitchen is particularly appreciated. A few minor critiques about specific furnishings and the size of the cafetiere suggest slight room for enhancement.
