The downstairs houses a modern and spacious, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and the cosy lounge has two comfortable couches which are centred around a cosy wood burner. Upstairs features a luxurious and roomy double bedroom with king sized bed. The adjoining bathroom features a large walk in shower and a bath.

It is also known as a very lively town, housing various pubs, eateries, and independent shops.
