The photos look flash but it is old. Shower curtain does not stop water from getting all over bathroom floor. Table wobbles. Room was warm. The unit is called Luxury but it certainly is not. Overpriced for what it is.

As soon as the door opened you could smell the room, carpet was,filthy, reading light for main bed didnt work, dirty spots on valance, wall behind end of bed dirty, NO SMOKE DETECTOR, easy chair dirty, only 1 plug on oven worked, only 1 small pot amd 1 small pan for cooking, manager left without giving wifi instructions and we are still looking for the garden. Worst place we have ever stayed in. The sheets, pillowcases, towel etc were brilliantly clean and crisp Thought it was compulsory to have smoke detectors

The manager/owner was very nice, warm and welcoming, predominantly the place was clean however the top bedding was quite dirty with unwashed stains and “many hairs” on the top and second layer of bedding. There was also an unpleasant strong smoky smell throughout the room when the bathroom heater ventilation was turned on which remained. Additionally, there was no light in the bathroom (bulb blown I suspect) and no bathmat. It was really the bedding that was “disturbing”. Positives were the friendliness of the owner/manger and the close location to town.
