Great townhouse just over the road from the Little High Eatery. Townhouse was clean and modern with all the things we needed for our stay. Parking can be a bit of a hassle so plan ahead if you intend to park nearby.

Nice new 3 story house in central city, very new. Basic provisions would be the only thing to note, e.g 1 little sachet of shampoo/conditioner combined, no body wash, tiny UHT milk, no facecloths, but as long as you remember to bring these if you need them it is great value for money and exceptionally warm & tidy

Clean, tidy unit. Kitchen and bathrooms had adequate supplies. Where the unit was situated was great and despite the car parks in front of the unit usually being taken it was no problem with the one available across the road at a good price. Couple of down sides was the stairs proved difficult for our older friends & having no toilet on the ground floor. It was also noted there was a blood stain on one of the mattress protectors. However, the group coped with these things and the majority of the group would definitely consider staying again.
