Excellent location and a 5 min walk from the town centre. Lounge and bedrooms well appointed. Both bathroom and en-suite have excellent showers. Big dining table. One or two irritations. WiFi very erratic despite resetting the hub, fridge rather small for 6 people, no working tin opener or scissors in kitchen.
