Generally good and enjoyed the stay with view plus breakfast. Just needs to keep up with some general maintenance (e.g some visible stains on sofa probably from high usage just needing a good clean. Coffee machine was kind of half blocked but worked just enough for a cup with a few goes.). Overall would stay again.
