Place was nice, presentable and clean, however the coffee machine didn't work due to it not being cleaned and the inside was mouldy, the description says it has a Bluetooth speaker? It doesn't it has a songs system, you have to download an app and create an account if you wish to use Spotify from your telephone, was annoying as I could get brought my own Bluetooth speaker and had music of my choice instantly, so misleading. Another really serious consideration was, there was no banister rail up the staircase so if you have any stability issues it is dangerous, I also believe it's a legal requirement, the shower also floods as the drainage system is either partially blocked or unable to deal with water quantity, we went end of April so it was a bit chilly on occasions, and the heating came on at night, there were no logs for the fire, you had to buybyour own however I would have thought that as we paid nearly £700 for a week a basket of logs would have been included. All in all a nice place but not worth the price?
