Facilities have been a point of contention, with guests suggesting improvements such as clearer instructions for appliances, a tumble dryer, and better maintenance. Positive notes on provided amenities balance the score to slightly above average.

There were a few things we struggled with, one being the fridge door and cupboard door opening opposite ways. The wire for the TV ariel was trailing on the floor. Other than that we loved the house and location.
