Opinion

This property benefits from a quiet location outside the city centre but convenient for the airport. Although it has limited facilities, the restaurant and coffee shop both provide a comfortable ambience. This is a suitable touring base for couples and families, the latter for shorter stays because of the lack of facilities and grounds.

Exterior

This modern build property stands in a detached location on a wide, relatively quiet tree-lined street. It has a grey, cement-like but smart facade with rectangular, unbalconied rooms to each of the higher accommodation floors. The 2nd floor has a row of windows in a granite coloured frontage while the ground floor has trees and shrubs in a tidy garden obscuring most the floor-to-ceiling windows.
