Accurately listed on Sykes. Comfortable beds, sofa, chairs etc and the garden is a lovely spot. Also, surprisingly private, considering it is a flat, it's easy to forget that. The kitchen is really well equipped, bread maker, slow cooker, baking stuff etc, I'd be surprised if anyone was short of something here. It's also really well done with electric blinds, induction hob etc, all really easy to use. The wifi is also easy to use and worked perfectly. The wee park out the front is ideal for 1st and last trips for the dog. Out the back, we had enough space to park and turn an estate and the wee local shop was ideal for small things. The welcome pack covers lots of things so we'll worth a read through. We didn't use the log burner, as it was mid-July, but this would be a lovely spot when it's on. All in all, this is a smashing place. We can't wait to go back. Top marks on upgrading it
