Bedrooms , great size lovely bedding and thank you for providing so many hangers . Sadly the only reason I didnât give full marks was the state of the garden area , could do with a good sweep and wash down, overrun with weeds around the edges , not very inviting to sit in every thing was filthy. The house was great but could do with a deep clean.
