"The accommodation was excellent. The only suggestion was that rails be installed by toilet and in shower. As an older couple we both agreed this would have been an advantage. We did enjoy our brief time there and it was helpful to have eating places nearby if we wanted to eat out. As the venue was a kitchenette, there was no stove or oven, but a microwave was available."
