Property was somewhat old and the bathroom smelt damp so we did not stay at the property Access was via a coded pad which we had no clue about. The outside area appeared derelict and uncared for.

The wardrobes were filthy, the bedside cabinets were filthy. I had to wash outside and inside of bedside cabinets they had years of dust on them inside and outside. The wardrobes were very old fashioned cheap wood. Could not store clothes in them as they needed a good clean so had to live out of suitcases. Only about 6 hangers in wardrobes of different shapes and sizes Rest of accommodation great.
