Great location & very clean. Could do with a bit of an update regarding painting. Also tv way too small & sofas not comfortable. Not a good look having two squares of sponge under sofa seats. Heating good and beds very comfy. Loved the fireplaces & colours of decor which do need refreshing. Kitchen has everything you need & a welcome pack would have been a nice thought.All in all we had a nice stay even though the weather was very dull & drizzly.
