Gail
No issues with parking outside the property. Property was very clean, well presented and pleasantly decorated. There was a welcome pack and small toiletries pack which is a lovely touch. Great kitchen and shower was great. The main bedroom is massive with plenty of storage. Tvâs in all the bedrooms as well as lounge and kitchen. Bathroom layout a little awkward with vanity sink and radiator near door. We didnât find the bed and sofa comfy but thatâs down to personal preference. Only seating for 4 in lounge (although extra chair in single bedroom off the lounge could be moved). We would have liked a larger sofa ! We didnât use the outside sofa due to the weather but this will be great in the summer. The property heating controls were easy to use heated up the rooms quickly. Overall we would recommend this property and we enjoyed our stay

I found the bed rather too hard for my comfort but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone else. It is a pity that the reclining chairs and sofa don't and that the bathroom mirror is above the toilet not the basin. The shower is excellent and the kitchen well equipped.

Would have been useful to know in advance that there was a freezer in the property.
