The couch was super comfortable to lay out on and read or spotify or you tube to your hearts content. The bed was super comfy to rest and sleep on and the quality of the linen was nice to sleep in. The breakfast options are world class. All delivered in gorgeous glass containers with descriptive hand written labels. The caravan was solid as and yet super airy with big glass areas to make it feel big. The section is superb with lots of lawn space to give you space!!

    Great stop location for our road trip. Room was lovely, very clean, bed was super comfy. The separate kitchen facilities, were really good , not that you needed to use them with a great Tavern next door, that did really good food. The best we’d stayed in our trip. Fiona was very helpful re walks etc.,and went above and beyond when my husband left his wash bag behind! Very grateful. Definitely recommend if travelling up the west coast.
