Property itself was excellent very clean and well furnished however bed was maybe a bit soft for my liking which gave me a sore back in the morning but just personal preference. We stayed a Friday night and the area around was very noisy, lots of honing and shouting possibly just due to being a Friday night. Would certainly stay again though. Best address in Rocky for sure
