The unit was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly. In particular we managed to do a few loads of washing through them and it was returned quickly, which was great. The TV in the second bedroom did not work and despite asking a number of times it was not fixed. There was not an electric blanket in the second bedroom but when asked it was provided quickly. The heat pump needs replacing but overall the facilities were very good for a short-term stay
