Ash's Holiday Units & Cafe

8/10 Good
"Cabin was clean however glass sliding door did not lock. Security door did. Plants along driveway and parking area made it very dificult to get in and side mirrors caught in shrubs when reversing out. Cutting back shrubs a bit would be a great benefit. Everything else was good and just a walk across the road to the tavern."
