    Bedroom was beautifully decorated and a pleasure to stay in, it could not be faulted. But the only Bathroom/Shower was upstairs up 2 flights of stairs, impossible for anyone with a disability or aged. This Bathroom- Shower - Toilet was the only working Toilet in the Premises available to Guests - as the Toilet only Room off the Kitchen-Laundry was blocked if anyone did a poo in it - it then had to be unblocked by filling up a bucket in the Kitchen & forcing the mess down the Toilet !!!!!!.
