Lovely property very clean and modern.Very close to all amenities.The only problem we had was with the heating as we couldn't get it to come on so two days with my clothes on as it dropped very cold over the weekend.Also the front door key needs replacing as it kept coming away from the black plastic top bit and getting stuck in the door.Would stay there again.

Beautiful little house. Very well refurbished. Plenty of room for everyone. The beds and bedding were lovely. I slept so well. The bed linen smelt lovely too. Kitchen really well equipped everything you need (could do with some extra tea towels and there were no bin bags) hob is hard to master if you are not use to induction hobs. Grill runs very hot be warned! Lovely furniture, sofa and chairs very comfortable and I personally loved all the artwork throughout the house. Only one criticism- no toilet roll on arrival. It doesn’t cost much, just one roll would have been adequate. We arrived late on a Sunday evening which could have been problematically. It would have been nice to have another toilet (as there is only one) for six adults! Maybe under the stairs, but apart from that perfect!
