The GML was clean and well appointed. We had a two bed apartment which, whilst simple, had a small and usable kitchen, comfy beds and plenty of space. The staff were welcoming and friendly.

Convenient and sufficient. Less than 10 mins to leave to get a burgher and be back to eat it. Despite being close to main road, no disruptive noise from traffic. Staff promptly changed kettle charging stand when it became intermittent connection. Drew their attention to "sticky" bathroom tap.
