"We stayed in very similar property a week before which was about 180 cheaper. This had hot chocolate sachets and bottles of shower gel and shampoo/conditioner which were more useful (and less packaging) than the sachets provided here. Having the diffuser on the hairdryer was excellent for my curly hair. Decor was pretty and cosy."
