The floorboards in our room were very creaky, our son was on a put up bed and every time he moved the floorboards creaked. So therefore we didn’t sleep very well.

This looks a lovely place, very picturesque. However, be warned that this property is next to a train line and a caravan park. Extremely noisy. We had no sleep. Even left without eating breakfast as that fed up!
