Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-stocked kitchen and games room. However, some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for additional equipment like larger saucepans and hairdryers slightly affect the score.

We managed to get most of the cars parked outside the property which was great, alternative parking was quite close. Just to confirm all bedrooms had a toilet and sinks but not all had showers, however there was a bathroom on each floor. Very well equipped and comfortable for 13 people to stay. Really worked well for a group booking.
