Very nice conversion of a property into a two bed/two bath ground floor flat. Super clean. Good location. As this is a building where people live and work there is some noise transference. I discussed this with the general manager, together with the possible solutions to minimise noise in the future. All in all, a nice stay.

This was an excellent cottage and we enjoyed our stay. Only some very minor niggles. We received a lot of information with codes for the entrance gate and the cottage keysafe. None of it was needed! The gate was always open, and the door key was in an unlocked box. With no signage around the cottage, we did wonder briefly if we were in the right pRead morelace, but all was fine. It was also a bit annoying that there were no coathooks near the door nor anywhere obvious to leave outdoor clothing. We ended up having to throw things over the backs of chairs etc, which was OK with just the 2 of us but would have been tedious with full occupancy and/or bad weather. Hide
