The place do not exist. It was shut 2 years ago. So after a 12 h drive and at 21.30 night we had to try to find another accommodation. Not happy at all take this listing of your sight. And I have for sure deleted your app from my phone to never be in this situation again.

We never got to stay in this property as it was never available for accommodation! Experia ruined our celebration by listing this property to be booked while it was sold a year ago!

We were disappointed that we were not able to get an evening meal the day we arrived? We were told after we arrived that they had not had enough notice to be able to do that! we were then advised to go somewhere else for the meal. After a long drive to get there we were tired and not very impressed. Otherwise things were satisfactory an dit was a lovely spot.

Fantastic spot great place. My only suggestion would be to consider getting rid of a lot of the plastic and old furniture lying around would make the place look so much better.
