    4 / 5
    The property was very close to the town. It was a good little place to stay. The over all cleanliness was good however the shower had vast amounts of black mould so was unusable. Also the situation with the parking. There is no parking but it is next door to a car park. This is ok but you need to return to your car every 4 hours so it's super frustrating, its free from 8pm to 8am. Also should mention it was quiet and warm.…
