Excellent Self-Catering Experience

organized facilitiesample spacegood viewpoor etiquette
The self-catering facilities were well-organized with clear guidelines. I found ample refrigerator and freezer space. The views from the house were generally good (especially from the rooflight window in my room).
I felt that the management of the shared kitchen could have been better. did not always follow proper etiquette, especially when it came to washing and putting away dishes. The refrigerators lacked designated spaces linked to the rooms.

Basic Stay with Some Issues

good kitchenuncomfortable mattressthin walls
The kitchen facilities were pretty good (I used them every day).
I encountered a few problems. The mattress on the bed was not comfortable. The walls seemed thin, as I could hear other guests pretty easily, not ideal when trying to sleep.
