Review Score: 8

Summary: Initial impressions were disappointing, due to how small the accommodation was, and the price charged. The location is fantastic, right at the side of the canal. Quiet, peaceful, and lots of lovely walks with nice pubs on the way. The garden has so much potential, but is overgrown and not landscaped. Again, when paying a premium rate for a property, you shouldn’t have an issue running out of hot water. Not I might add, because of eco friendly issues, as stated, but because of a cheap, mechanical timer set for an economy 7 rate. The unvented cylinder should have been on 24/7, and left to the thermostat to ensure we had unlimited hot water. Very poor, especially when charging over 200 per night. Overall, it served a purpose.
