+ It was clean spacious very good value for money.
− My only gripe is a net curtain on a clear window good privacy in day time but at night time doesn't work, this is used in toilet/shower room, no other means of privacy, even shower has clear glass facing window, and this been a rear room has houses the other side. But this wouldn't stop me going again hopefully additional curtains or frosted sheet on windows if stopping again.

+ The location
− The shower doesn’t have buttons looks like they’ve broken off so it was hard to turn it on and off. There was only one bowl so we had to wait for one of us to have cereal first, we couldn’t have breakfast together. There was little hairs all in the shower which was gross. There wasn’t a bin in the bathroom which I think is bad especially when having to go bin sanitary products in the kitchen bin.
