On the stairs in the property one of the step mats was a bit loose curling up at the corner of the edge. The fitted shower drain plug slides when you step on it, it is not fitted in to the plug hole properly. Plus side it was immaculate, and have everything we needed, and we had a great holiday.

Comfy beds (which is a must for me!) plenty of space for a crib in the room as we had a 6 yr old and 3 month old so the facilities were great even the washing machine!! Tv with Roku box was great! No issues with free permit parking there was always a space, a shop a minute round the corner and the chip shop we ordered online choose a meal deal that was about £17 which included 3 small fish (they werenât small!) highly recommended bargain! The only thing missing was milk from the items listed that would be there but weâd ordered a Sainsburys delivery. Well worth a visit :)
