Nice clean well equipped flat.The shower was very good. Lovely garden.The stairs down to the bedrooms were a bit awkward to use without a handrail.

The Garden Flat had everything we needed and more. There were lovely extras like tisues, note pad, pens, hand soap, kitchen pack and a lot more! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, even a grater and lots of cups and glases. The sofas were comfy. There was a conservatory and lovely outdoor space to sit in. There are some lovely prints on the walls along with extra accesories, that made the flat feel homely.
