The place was clean and modern and looked great, however there were a few things that would have made the stay better. The sofas were old with very little to no cushioning which for a 5 night stay made it extremely uncomfortable to relax in.The bathroom is big and lovely, but could do with a shelf in the shower to put toiletries on.The TV is old and out of date with very few channels to watch, there is a DVD player but this did not work.The location is great and very close to many pubs, shops and the lake.This would be manageable for maybe a night or two, but would not recommend for longer stays.
