Good location. The accomodation would benefit with somewhere to dry clothes, we were lucky as the weather was good, however, the rotary line was not secured and kept falling over, the handful of pegs supplied We're broken. There was no iron or board. The complementary biscuits was a nice touch had they not of been 9 months expired.

There are no towel hooks in the upstairs bathroom, so they have to live on the floor. Nowhere to dry towels if it is cold or raining. There is a washing machine but no iron!! The mirror in upstairs bathroom is too high for women.
