The TV gave us a few issues whereby it had to be returned every time we turned it on as it would lose certain channels, but this was no big issue. Location couldn't be more perfect for the village. Tucked away up a side street so hardly any passing pedestrians or noise. Very close to parking area. I agree with some other comments with regards to the stairs, if you're not physically fit or have mobility issues, the stairs would be a problem as they are quite steep.
