Not very homely accommodation to suit our family of 7. Institutional building. En suite shower leaked. No hot water for several hours one day. No information folder on the property other than history of buildings. No local info ie supermarkets, restaurants/cafes and places to visit. No instructions on how to operate kitchen appliances. Very disappointing.
