Lovely bungalow but the bathroom needed a non slip mat available for the shower for visitors that needed it and a toilet brush, otherwise an excellent shower The entrance to the bungalow needs attention, even the able bodied have to be careful due to a manhole not level with the ground signing an disclaimer is fine but if it’s the first visit you are unaware of the situation. Otherwise an excellent bungalow
