Whilst we found the unit to be a bit outdated, it was tidy, and clean. Cleaning staff were great. Our bed was always made on our return to the unit. The owner Mrs/Mz was very affable and accommodating with our requests. Final one being breakfast on Friday. A beautiful meal of scrambled eggs, tomato, toast and chirazo sausgage. Over all, a great stay.

This property is also used for emergency housing which was not known at time of booking. Some of the tenants were not pleasant. However the allocated unit was clean and comfortable

I think the property just needs some tender loving care. It can be an amazing place if it was maintained and looked after
