Excellent property. Ideal location, on street parking never an issue to find a space. Very comfy, and all facilities of a super high standard. The only negative to report (and it appears has been noted in other reviews) was the blind on the window in the first floor twin room. It fell down on top of the bed, luckily it missed one of my kids. All things considered a superb property and I would have no hesitation in recommending.
