The shower over bath was just a push on tap affair with no where to hook it up. The furniture abit tired to be honest. The kitchen very dated but well-equipped. Staff very friendly and property was spotless

I have one important reservation / suggestion. I am slightly disabled due to major cancer surgery on my ribs and back. As such it would have been great to have a proper overhead shower or separate shower unit. (My one attempt to us bath was almost a disaster. Thanks.
