Exterior is well maintained Our shower tiles, etc was old and smelly drain. Kitchen hotplate, etc were filthy, greasy. Scratched/stained mugs. Towels I would use on my dog… incredibly old and faded. Have stayed with family few times… no more, needs money spent on internal areas - no usb on power points, broken bottom shelf in bar fridge - unable to stand opened bottle of wine….friendly staff 10/10
