Positives: great location, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and lots of hot water. Beds were ok, blackout blinds in bedrooms and plenty of towels provided. Negatives: internet is shockingly bad! Nasty smell of ammonia in the lower kitchen cupboards. Reported but no source found. Minor points: a bottle of toilet cleaner would have been useful just to give the loo a scrub. 1 toilet roll for a weeks rental seems very cheap. Please Note: Parking can be a nightmare, so be prepared to walk a fair distance to/from the car.
