Liked: Cleanliness
The property was second to none, the amenities were faultless, we didn’t take sugar but there was some there. The facilities were very good apart from my bedroom on the ground floor, I am unsteady on my legs and could not sit down to do my hair and make up and also the stairs to the lounge (maybe a small slope instead of stairs, this is only a suggestion for those in wheelchairs, but I know it would be challenging to install). The rooms were immaculate, however the sinks in the kitchen need a deep clean around plug holes and dead flys need to removed from window sills in games room. Outside there was no blue box for cardboard. Many thanks to the owners they should be extremely proud of their achievement. I hope you accept my feedback.
