Brackenridge was good overall. Underfloor heating and privacy is really good. Door lock is unusual but functional. It should lock behind you without having to put the code in again. Things to improve on are; the curtains needed to be wider to block out light and the ironing board was not really suitable for anything. So if you are having a wedding and staying there take your own board.
