Excellent parking, WiFi and TV. However there were a few fairly minor issues that detracted from the overall experience: The fridge was small and unstable underneath the kitchen worktop and was awkward to use. The en-suite bathroom in the right-hand bedroom lacked a proper toilet roll holder, and the mirror unit was too low above the wash-hand basin making it difficult for face washing. None of the chairs in the living room were comfortable.
