Paul C.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clear directions made it easy to find. Clean & comfortable for a large family. No external noise so we all slept well. Bathrooms good & it was very nice to have the option of breakfast cereal provided, although we didn’t use it a nice touch. Within walking distance of shops. Heating worked well.
