The property had been cleaned and prepared to a high standard. It is situated in a quiet residential area with a small private garden which catches the afternoon sun.The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, and the bedroom next to the bathroom has one of the most comfortable beds we have ever experienced. A very enjoyable stay and highly recommended. Thank you.
