Jamie
It is a very small accommodation but great for sometime who doesn't need a lot of space. Lack of hanging storage is inconvenient but inevitable as they're is nowhere to put it so lived out of the suitcase. Bathroom is great especially the shower. Very clean and tidy throughout. The boiler failed so lost heating and hot water but managed to fix it myself. The system needed filling which is perhaps something that could have been picked up prior to arrival. Entryphone system feels safe and secure and the garden area is a nice bonus.

My only gripes are the lack of privacy on the windows in the bathroom and no hanging rail for clothes.

Number outside Key Box not visible enough. Bed was comfortable. Hanging space wou ld be ideal. Seating too high and shallow to be comfortable. Kitchen would benefit extra shelving at side of cupboard on sink wall. Lovely shower. But basin to big gave shortage of space to dry after showering. Blind at window to give privacy. Also a shower shelf in cubicle. Would benefit from Secondary double glazing in lounge due to draft from window Perhaps update sockets with USB ports. Overall enjoyed our stay and would return despite knowing what we know.
