It had a homely feel and had everything we needed. Thanks for the biscuits and milk. In a good location to travel to Bridlington and York. I would highly recommend.

The rear access is fine and where the parking is but the kitchen dining area has no natural ventilation other than opening the bi-fold door. Not sure why it was important to keep light on for the outside. To save electricity and to reduce night light we switched them off. For us the big positive was that as a wheelchair user it was excellent once we altered a bit of furniture positioning. The large settees did restrict space. Finally, we had to provide our own bedside radio, and the streaming TV - modern and no doubt in vogue was quite annoying at having to first access the guide to find the station required. Isnât modern tech meant to be easier to use?
