So clean and tidy ! Good location ! Friendly staff ! Jess was great and then her Mum Viv looked after us so amazingly well! Happy, smiling and accommodating! We initially changed our booking and Jess was accomodating and then when we wanted to extend our stay it wasn’t a problem ! Def recommend!

Loved it all ! Maybe a non stick frypan would have great if I was to pick anything 😆

Relatively private. Good size living space for a family of 3.

A closing door between the main bedroom and the living room would be ideal. Thicker, cosy blankets for the single bed.
