It is cozy and the outside space is great. Having the utility area was great to store coats and walking shoes etc. It was dirty though in many places and the bed was really soft and uncomfortable. It made my back hurt

As we had 2 dogs I would ask that the two garden gates are fixed, one is on one hinge and the other was not fixed to the gate post when we arrived, so we had to take additional so the dogs did not get out of the garden. Also was looking to hoover and could only find dust pan and brush. Apart from that everything was great. Good public transport with bus stop outside the property and rial station less than half a mile.
