"Absolutely fine for an overnight stay but probably wouldn't stay over a longer period."

7.0

Very minimalistic but very clean and close to amenities. A little disappointed that dishes can only be cleaned in the bathroom!

Parking close to the unit was not guaranteed as was shared with the pub next door.

"A comfortable stay ."

8.0

It was in a good location. Only a few minutes drive to restaurants and grocery store. The restaurant attached to it had great reviews. We didn’t have time to eat there but it seemed to draw the locals. Room was spacious and clean.

Nothing to dislike.
