Traveled with family and small children, Traveled with pets
I paid extra for linen $30 per bed and looked dusty with very low quality. Pillows were too soft. We were only supplied with 4 rolls of tissues for 4 days for 10 people! Carpet and rugs were dirty. BBQ was rusty.
Only great about it was you could bring a pet.
Location was ok. 10 minutes walk to town.
