Only downside was there were roadworks directly in front of the room at the time of the visit (they stopped by 8.00pm so didn't affect us too much)and due to general traffic noise it would have been hard to sleep in if we hadn't needed to get up early. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Roy 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful property.

I also found there was a lot of noise coming from the laundry room next door to my room (room 5) VERY early in the morning. The people were very welcoming, and parking was easy onsite - right in front of my room. Everything worked well, with acceptable hot water and plenty of room. This would be ideal for a group with kids to stay, assuming they don't mind how aged the rooms are. I would stay again. ##### Leanne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Swiss Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swiss-Cottage-London-Hotels.0-n553248635976382606-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [The Observatory Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Observatorty-Hotel-Christchurch.h74786124.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Hotels in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6053839-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Famous Artist's Residence Near to St Ives Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Ives-Hotels-Famous-Artists-Residence-Near-To-St-Ives-Harbour.h32886946.Hotel-Information) > - [Ramblas Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Ramblas-Barcelona.h17191.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Palau](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Palau.d141.Hotel-Destinations) > - [Lodges Amazon Jungle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amazon-Jungle-Lodges.d3000655735-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels with Balcony in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d6053839-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Barton St David](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barton-St-David-Hotels.d553248635075494543.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Caravan Parks Torpoint](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torpoint-Caravan-Parks.d6085000-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Milan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d180012-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Lanzarote](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lanzarote-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d282-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [voco Podgorica by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Podgorica-Hotels-Voco-Podgorica-Montenegro.h44804534.Hotel-Information) > - [Eurostars Grand Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Eurostars-Grand-Marina.h871862.Hotel-Information) > - [Fable Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Rendezvous-Hotel-Christchurch.h2440221.Hotel-Information) > - [Vila com estilo Marrocos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vila-Com-Estilo-Marrocos.h18939827.Hotel-Information) > - [LyLo Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Jucy-Snooze-Christchurch.h15616452.Hotel-Information) > - [Aire apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Aire-Apartment.h37721657.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Muscat (MCT) to Salalah (SLL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mct/sll/muscat-to-salalah) > - [Jet2 Heraklion (HER) to Leeds (LBA) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-nikos-kazantzakis-to-leeds-bradford/ls/her/lba) > - [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Sommacampagna (VRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/vrn/newcastle-to-verona) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ### General > - [Visit Matta 'e Peru](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matta-E-Peru.dx553248635975863114) > - [Visit Acapulco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acapulco.dx179991) ---
