From verified guest, Mar 2026, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
The quality of the furniture especially bedding and a very well equipped kitchen made for a very comfortable stay. Great location too.
No pegs or coat stand to hang up (wet) jackets and coats! We brought our own baskets for boots.
Very noisy bathroom fan heard for 20 minutes in bedroom each time the light was switched on.
The issue of not being able to open/unlock the bedroom window was responded to but not resolved during our stay despite being reported straight away
