Expensive for what it was...

Liked: Was clean and tidy and as it was a back unit, it was relatively quiet. New kitchen area but has to have curtains blinds pulled for privacy.
Disliked: Was a very pokey cabin like room - not as described. The bed was like something you would expect in a backpackers. The windows didn't have safety catches so could not leave them open. The bathroom was VERY small - if you were 6ft tall you would not be able to stand up in there. No soap in the bathroom.
