Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.

Bathroom facilities not suitable for Seniors,vanity unit in the bedroom, and a tiny shower tucked in the end of the toliet, with a deep step out of it. Lighting in the unit was not suitable for reading, and it was very dark inside. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Very clean, comfy bed, lovely warm unit, 7min walk to the hospital. Perfect wee kitchenette that had everything i needed to prepare my meals. My only gripe would be the lack of secure window ventilation latches. I love to air out my room securely whilst im out. Easy fix tho. I will definitely be back
