Beds are really comfortable. nice layout. Could do with a little bit of maintenance, ensuite bathroom door kept popping open and bedroom door didn't close properly. Not a problem for us, but it might be for some. Nice to have a hot tub, to warm up after a chilly day out. Lots of nice places a short drive away. Only one car parking space, but we managed to find an on road space for the other car.

When we arrived the living room didnât look like it had been brushed or vacuumed. It was quite tired in places just as previous reviews mentioned. Overall we enjoyed our stay because of the area it is situated which we loved.

My wife and I stayed on the top floor with the ensuite shower room. The kids then stayed in the remaining 3 bedrooms and used the family bathroom. They particularly enjoyed having a smart TV in their rooms and that stopped any squabbling. We used the hot tub every night throughout our stay. There are plenty of eateries within walking distance of the house and the Co-op being over the road was also very convenient. We will definitely consider returning to Midway house regards David & family
