The stay suited our purposes, but we would not book again because of the stairs (did not realise we would need to climb 14 steps to bed (one disabled person). Otherwise it was a very good accommodation.

Great accommodation although the climb into the bath could be a challenge for someone with short legs or any hip flexor issues. Good location and surprisingly quiet given it is on a busy road.
