The only downside was no dressing table in rooms to do my hair and makeup. Jo phoned us to make sure we had arrived safely and was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to family and friends. We loved watching the steam trains too. Very central for all amenities.

Only one criticism for the 2 bathrooms, the on suite bathroom heated towel rail was only partly working (presume air at the top) and for the other bathroom the heated towel rail wasn't working at all. This made drying towels difficult. Couldn't find any switch to operate it either internally or in the corridor outside. Would have been nice to have a comments book in the flat as I know one of the others has. It is a little pricey but overall brilliant and will hope to be back next year

There was everything needed in the property. It was great to see the trains pass the windows, especially the steam trains. The trains do not run early or late, so a very peaceful place to be. Would definitely return, hopefully soon.
