All in all it was still a very good stay! Thanks Tom and the team !
Pros:

Tom was really nice ! Everything was well cleaned it was nice stay in general nothing to fancy felt nice to in

Cons:

A little a bit annoying to not have drinkable tap water but that’s okay we had two bottles and refilled once a day by the staff a d in sure if you’d ask them they give you some whenever. It is quite far from central London which is a bit time consuming for transportation.
