Everything, bar the shower, was spot on! The shower unit, unfortunately, let our stay down. The shower riser rail is far too off-set & the water pressure very poor.

The base of the double bed was worn and stained and therefore I checked the condition of the mattress on top. That was ok. The handrail running on the tiled surface along the bath was very rusty. Had been badly painted with blue metal paint to hide rust.
