The unit was clean, tidy, great cooking facilities, loved the shower and bathroom. Staff are friendly. Lovely garden and surrounding pathways and trees. However, it was very close to the railroad tracks and it sounded like a train passed through the unit several times during the night. Ear plugs were provided but it didn’t stop all the noise.

Cold
Very cold, one panel heater on the wall couldn’t cope with the low temperature and really high ceiling in the room. Slept with the heater on full all night, along with all the blankets in the room. Tv kept loosing reception, and with only 2.4Gb of free wifi, streaming anything was very difficult. I have stayed in worse places, but I have also stayed in a lot better for the price
