Very clean and well appointwd and great location. Improvements could include replacing the front door lock and the lock beside the downstairs loo as they were challenging to open. Windows were locked and so very warm inside. Finally, investing in some decent pillows would be great.providing some toiletries in the bathrooms would be favourable.
