Fabulous all round. Great location, well kitted out. Clean and lovely fittings. Would definitely stay again. (Only slight issue was noise overnight in street side bedroom. Double glazed windows but seemed to conduct the loud teenage noise very easily from the park over the road. Can’t be helped due to location but just a warning for light sleepers at the weekend!)
