There is a fair amount of walking required for trains and groceries which didn't worry me. There is also a bus quite close which opens up other destinations.
The room was smaller than I was expecting. Having a larger than normal bag I wasn't able to use the close drying rack provided so I had to go to a laundromat which wasn't too far.
The use of the kitchen was quite restricted. There was no space in the freezers for anything I might have wanted to put there, and the cooking utensils available to guests were very limited.
Alison left dishes in the sink and washed them when she was ready. I had to work around this and at times there was no space left in the drying rack for my dishes.
The heating came on for a couple of hours in the morning at 6.30 and a few hours in the evening from 6.30. I felt cold on a few occasions but Alison gave me a small plug in heater that solved the problem.
All in all the place is ok for a short stay if you dont need to use the kitchen much.
