"Excellent location, lovely, large room, comfortable bed & excellent powerful shower. Housekeeping only comes after three nights which isn’t great when you are staying four nights. Don’t need it every day but on a four night stay do it after the second night would be my suggestion. No tea/coffee making facilities."
