Great for an overnight stay. The shower block was cold as the heating was not turned on, lovely service though.
Convenient site and nice owner

Tara was lovely from before arrival giving me clear directions in when towing, to when I left and very kindly helped me out the narrow entrance - thank you so much. Only reason for not rating as 5 throughout was due to a cold shower this morning, no matter what i did in the lovely shower block, i could not get the shower to heat up. The location was great for a 1 night stopover when travelling North.
