Good well equipped accommodation, comfortable stay, in very quiet location. Only issue was the number of low beams if you are tall (5ft10inch plus) several collisions!

Really enjoyed my week at Hillside. Very comfortable, perfectly equipped for two. Tall people should note there are a couple of low beams. I'm 6' 1" and I forgot about the low beam between the bedroom and the bathroom a couple of times!
