Arrived mid- afternoon to a warm welcome. Our studio unit was large & spotless. Thoroughly enjoyable day & a yummy breakfast was enjoyed before starting off on our last day on the cycle trail.

We arrived at lunch time for our booking at 2 pm and were welcomed to our lovely new units, no problem that we were two hours early. The unit was spacious and spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quite simply the best accommodation that we experienced on our six day cycle ride
