Can park outside the unit. Cleaning done daily if required and just ask friendly staff for restocking of any consumables. Sky TV especially if any sports events on.

Booked the saw view suite initially, then added two more nights. I thought I was booking the same room, but it was a different room - smaller and no view, and not as nice. Disappointed, but it isn't anyone's fault.

Parking was challenging given the number and location of available bays but given we were in a hire car we drove carefully to get in and out of the tight spaces.
