Great for families and a good base for travelling around the area. Comfortable and clean. Lots of indoor activities for staying in. Plenty of choice for eating out/takeaways. Good sized and easily accesed private parking space. Convenient location for PotFest in Melton Mowbray. Second double bedroom very small for moving around. I didnt like the obscured film on the front window - but this didnt affect the light in the room and I presume theres a good reason for having it there.
