Great location. Plenty of room for up to 6 people. Kitchen was well equipped.When we arrived both showers were broken and needed to be replaced the following day. Not sure how this was missed. Luckily we had a competent and pleasant plumber, John, who sorted this out by the following evening.The accommodation is now a bit tired looking - carpet was quite stained. There was only one towel provided per person - an additional hand towel each would have been good but there was only 2 hand towels, one in each bathroom.The accommodation is dark and you need to have a light on at all times. The provision of lamps made this cosier.There was outdoor space - I don’t know if it had been booked before our stay but this could have done with a sweep. Also there was a big lump of chewing gum by seat outside front door. Very handy for town centre & there is a designated parking space plus visitors parking.
