"A mixed bag: positives: house was clean and the key lock and parking was convenient, and food and drink supplies very welcome.

Although the house was on the same estate and also had 3 double bedrooms, one of the bedrooms was pretty small, and the original property had the master bedroom on its own top floor ,...
