Staycation.
Pros:

Location was amazing. Close to all facilities. Great value gor money. Clean and spacious.

Cons:

Bigger coffee/ tea cups. Comfy chair to sit on as you have to sit on the bed. Walk in shower and higher seated toilet. My husband and I have knee trouble so that are my only things to make the stay perfect!
