"The only criticism I have of the whole experience was the WiFi, I needed to work from my laptop on arrival but the internet was hit and miss. If I was staying midweek and needed to work it would have been unacceptable. The property described there was internet access but that’s not really true as we also had issues with live streaming programmes."
