The property is old and basic but very clean. My issue is the deodorisers and smelly plug in things in the room. Even after removing it and putting it outside, the room smelled too strong and I couldn’t sleep.

Comfortable unit. The usual tea coffee etc, the little kitchen is wonderful, vintage appointed, but didn't detract from purpose (modern up to date kitchen cupboards don't work any better, I liked it as is!). Very comfortable living area for my stay. Everything worked as it should. And I'd love to know how that got the kitchen sink so shiny!!
