Although mentioned on the website I would make it highlighted a bit more as itâs definitely not suitable for older people, those with any mobility issues or very young children. The property was spotless, wifi a bit hit and miss, damp on bathroom ceiling though that didnât impact the stay at all, it just didnât look great. No parking outside property, again not an issue for me as I paid for a weekly ticket in a nearby car park and walked.
