We're an 'older'(ish) couple who spent just over a week at Fran'N'Bev's basement flat & it was ideal for us. We'd looked into this area so as to be able to include seeing some family & friends. But for us it made a great holiday week too. In fact we could easily fill the time again with activities we like, within very easy reach. That includes central Manchester, a steam train day, National Trust properties, local walks too & much else. The flat & hosting arrangements are both great - all the support & facilities & warmth of welcome we could wish for! We could even very comfortably watch different Olympic events in separate rooms when we sometimes wanted to (& into the small hours ... without disturbing anyone else!)
