The house was spotless and the welcome basket was a really lovely touch. The beds were comfortable and facilities great. It was also in the perfect spot for the centre

We noticed a few things that werenât quite right, such as doors not shutting fully and curtains coming off rails. Most important of these were the windows in the main bedroom - these were were difficult to open (and if opened they slammed shut very swiftly, so quite dangerous as well as meaning that the room was very hot) and one of sashes had a broken timber frame which looked quite rotten. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.
