I stayed for three nights and was impressed by the cleanliness throughout the house. lorna, who looks after the house and guests, maintained everything perfectly. she created a warm atmosphere. Her dedication was notable! free parking was available.

The walls were quite thin. Noise easily transferred between rooms. i shared a bathroom with several other rooms. the front door did not lock smoothly, and i found myself needing to slam it shut.
