Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.

Bathroom facilities not suitable for Seniors,vanity unit in the bedroom, and a tiny shower tucked in the end of the toliet, with a deep step out of it. Lighting in the unit was not suitable for reading, and it was very dark inside. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Great water pressure in the shower, comfy bed, everything I needed for a quick 1 night stay. Great sized room, however not very sound proof, could hear people in the room next door.
