Guests consistently mention the cleanliness, the stunning views, and the added luxury of a hot tub and sauna. The property's proximity to local attractions and walks along the canal is appreciated, as are the thoughtful touches like welcome packs. While some minor suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction and a desire to return.
Guests consistently report that the property is spotlessly clean, with several reviews specifically mentioning the cleanliness. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness that contributes positively to the guests' experience.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The canal-side setting and proximity to walking paths are particularly appreciated, although one review mentioned an initial concern about the housing estate upon arrival.
The comfort of the property is well-regarded, with mentions of comfortable beds and a relaxing environment. However, there are a few comments about the beds being uncomfortable when set up as a double, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities like the hot tub, sauna, and well-equipped kitchen are highlights for guests. Some guests suggested additional kitchen items and noted a desire for extended hot tub hours, indicating room for improvement in the facilities and maintenance category.
While guests appreciate the welcome packs and mention gifts such as chocolates, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of these thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will be provided to every guest.
