Liked: Cleanliness
Lovely clean place with lots of little extra touches that made a difference eg welcome basket, hand soap, coffee, olive oil, salt & pepper, laundry sheets etc. well looked after properly. Parking was a little tricky despite the large car park to the rear but there’s not much anyone could have done about that. Great communication from owners.
