Place was pleasant. Unfortunately roadworks going on in the area and losing power in the morning. Would have been nice to have been advised of the power outage so that we could have made a cuppa and not feel like we had no choice but to check out early

4/10 Fair

The place was lovely and in a great location for convenience, unfortunately it is on the main road which is busy at night, so had an awful nights sleep. So unless they triple glaze the place I would recommend taking earplugs if you are planning to stay in any of the units next to the road.
