The units come with a kitchen featuring kettle and a dining area, a living room with a sofa, and a private bathroom with free toiletries and shower. After a bit of a confusion, the host (Johnny) reacted very quickly and went great lengths to make sure that we were fine and satisfied. There was local pub at walking distance (through a pretty path),with great food and friendly staff. Johnny even set up the wood for us to light a fire after the evening meal. It was a very special evening! Thank you!
