The only reason I have not given it a 5-star rating is that I found the bedding and towels smelled stale. Luckily my daughter lived close by and she supplied fresh bedding etc. I would add a health and safety point: in the dark I found that there are trip hazards nearby the door, and I fell badly on my final morning when leaving. Some lighting perhaps needed or at least a torch for tenants' use. Some clarity may also be needed for customers about whether a supply of logs and kindling comes with the tenancy.
