The garage is useful but as the listing says itâs only suitable for small cars. I have a Honda jazz so it was fine for me but wouldnât have tried to fit anything bigger in. The flat had everything we needed for self catering and the beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy except for the sofa which had chocolate on it but we used the chairs instead.
