Good base

Easy to park and good location, helpful having the lock box for checking in as we had a late flight. The bed was very wobbly and would have been nice to have fresh towels/toilet roll etc during our 4 days there but only had the main bin empty once.

Property size was good for our family for a simple overnight stop. Only down side was the walls are quite thin and neighbours were quite loud & woke us up. Would definitely stay again if travelling that way.
