Sadly it's getting a bit tired, with various things broken. I notice these were commented on by other guests a year ago but not fixed. Most not major, but please change the mattress!!

Spotlessly clean and exactly as listed. Only issue was with the mattress in the double room, where the springs sounded like Zeberdee every time my husband got out of bed - clearly needs replacing - otherwise all good. No issues as mentioned previously with the shower.

Nice to see suggestions taken on board. Beware that the shower needs to be tamed to avoid a flood in the bathroom - remove the outlet cover, don't turn up the flow up too high and have a j-cloth on standby! Also there is no longer access to the utility room which did provide a freezer and washing machine.
