Great value, did the job.

Quiet, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Quirky vibe. Bathroom needed a do-up: toilet lid wouldn't stay up as the cistern was in the way. Shower had good pressure but needed a better clean. Nice clean linen. Great having a wee kitchen of our own. Good parking.

Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations. Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.
