Excellent location, super friendly staff, warm with excellent facilities.

A kitchen knife would've been great and a TV that you can cast to would be a bonus.

Clean, tidy and very warm. Every room has a heat pump. When we arrived it was going so we were warm

No Netflix, tv was a bit dated and the shower leaked but nothing major
