We thought we would be able to walk into town but we could only do this in day light due to the route you need to take. We were told that buses weren't great at the weekend. We did walk into town in the morning and it was around 25 minutes and needed directions. The place itself is quite basic - there is no hairdryer for example something that we have found previously as standard. It is comfortable and the electric blanket was great as we were a little chilly. Breakfast was great and we really appreciated it. It was great as a base but it is further out than we expected from previous reviews.
