Stayed with partner

The 2 bed unit was a good size and reasonably clean and comfortable with the exception of the very hard beds. There is a notice telling you not to cook smelly meals and if you did you would incur a fee. Shame about the smelly bin which had not been cleaned before a new bin bag had been added, so that caused a smell. The units are on top of each other with large windows all around and no blinds or net curtains, so when in the unit you had to keep the curtains closed otherwise it felt like you were in a goldfish bowl. There is no ironing board and iron in the unit, you have to request from reception. This was difficult on times as you had to catch the receptionist when she was actually in reception, which was only when new guests arrived. This is not a retreat, as there is a busy road around it, which woke us up around 7:00am wach morning. This was certainly the idyllic location we envisaged.

We were running late for checking. Left a message and instructions were waiting in the after hours box. No problem.
