Our only complaint was the comfort of the rather small bed, otherwise all good. We also appreciated the C and Câs teamâs prompt response to our requests.

The floor tiles in the en-suite bathroom creak when you stand on them and the toilet itself as well as the seat is quite loose. The water pressure is very good so itâs a pleasant shower however but the water sprays onto the bathroom floor, I think a larger shower screen or the addition of a shower curtain would solve this. The living area is nice and well equipped, it would be nice if there was a smart tv so guests can connect to their phone to watch Netflix/catch up tv etc.
