Nice size rooms. Quiet and close to town centre.

Cons:

No extract or windows in the bathroom. Vent in ceiling but no air flow through it. Bathroom got so damp the floors was dangerous to walk on.

Comfortable at a good price.
Pros:

Clean and everything I needed was there without having to ask. Awesome blockout curtains.

Cons:

The light on the heat pump made the room very bright at night. Maybe time to refresh furnishings like lampshades and modernise it.
