However, there were a few minor details, one of which had been mentioned in the reviews back in July (fridge door shelf), which we would bring to your attention: 1) Arm covers on settee and armchairs were dirty and unnecessary. 2) We could not find the power cable for the DVD player. 3) One of the window blinds in the top floor bedroom would not retract easily. 4) Some of the doors seem to close quite violently, presenting a finger trap danger (especially for smaller hands) perhaps investment in finger guards might prevent the possibility of a nasty accident. The provision of a parking permit and an extra key was most welcome. We had 2 cars, but managed to find on street parking for the second one nearby without any problems.

Lovely place great location, fridge door was broken had bottom tray missing so made it difficult to store milk , needs more crockery and cutlery so the dishwasher could be put on when full , some kind of squeegee for the walk in shower rooms would be a good idea, but those are only little things and our stay was brilliant, apart from those things 5 star
