The shower had mold patches and the shower head needed replacing. The flooring throughout was not too a good standard (loose and tired looking). The parking permit was for a car park about a quarter of a mile away. When we stopped to drop of the bags at the house, we had abuse from some locals staying we couldn't do that.
