Well appointed and clean property which was conveniently located. Double glazing helped with road noise and it was great to have a kitchenette. Liked the commitment to sustainability. More signage around the property as to what room was where would have helped at check in.

Lot more expensive than we normally book but circumstances dictate. Rooms large very comfortable lounge chairs (wife wants to buy similar now). Some basic instruction on TV and cook top would help. Couldnt get cook top to operate other than a setting saying "Llo" visible. Unable select lsrge or small heat surface.

Surprisingly quiet. Very clean. Very spacious for what you get - appreciated that the bathroom was separate from the toilet. A coffee pod machine would have capped the experience off! Slight mix up with booking as we wanted two beds, received one bed and a sofa bed but had to pay extra to have the sofa bed made up.
