9.8/10 Exceptional! (16 reviews)

The need to have ID for every adult in the flat for "health and safety" reasons is ridiculous. The flat itself was very nice though.

Greeted by a pleasant stain member. Flat was clean. Secure parking is a plus. Things could be improved if they had the following, welcome pack giving WiFi details etc, better equipped kitchen I.e tea towel, bin and more crockery, bathroom could do with bath mat and bedroom could do with bedside cabinet with bedside lamp

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

The room was spacious and large enough to accommadate 2 double beds. Instead it had a double which was 2 large singles pushed together and a pull out bed which was so uncomfortable it couldnt be slept in. We all slept in one bed. No dressing gowns were in the room. The bar meals were expensive and were standard if not poor. The staff were polite
