Won’t be back room was damp and door wouldn’t shut properly. Shower was just a trickle and taps wouldn’t work to fill bath as divert water valve was stuck solid and couldn’t be moved. Bed sheets had stains on them and hairs on them like they hadn’t even been changed and/or cleaned. Parking was good and is free. The view over the hills is to die for absolutely amazing views but that’s as far as the amazing gets you I am afraid.
