Perfectly good stay
Really lovely and helpful service. They were quick to find a better single bed when we asked as the original was soooooo soft it bent in half. Nowhere to hang towels but they quickly ensured we had clean ones each day to compromise. Good amenities but tired (remote control batteries held in with tape, cupboard door’s that don’t shut). Very handy location. Overall, it was about right for the price we paid.

This was a lovely place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean, and the beds were comfortable.
The only thing that disappointed me was that there was a stove/oven in the photo that I saw and I brought provisions for our meal accordingly. When we arrived, the room we were given had only a microwave and I had to go and pay for different food. This may have been my lack of attention to detail when I booked, but it did frustrate me.
Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything was good apart from the bed was too cold. Needed a better duvet or another blanket. Had to buy one to keep warm the 2nd night. Heat pump wasn't working properly either. Probably needs filters cleaned
