The kitchen was modern and very well equipped. We appreciated the welcome pack of tasty treats but not the welcome by the ants in the kitchen and elsewhere! Some of the beds were not comfortable and the heating did not work (apparently connected to WIFI, which was on and off during our stay!). The shower is situated in the bath and no non slip bath mat was provided until nearly the end of our stay so we had to stand on a towel instead.
