The Racecourse Gathering

Small kitchen no dining table

Whilst sitting in the lounge we had the back door open for fresh air. There is no back garden just a line of sheds and bins for each terraced house unfortunately whilst sitting in the lounge a rat run past and looked in 🫣

Located close enough to the centre of town. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for the group. Using a door code simplifies access. We liked the main kitchen / dining area - whist we did not cook there was everything you needed included.

There was not a single wardrobe or hanger / designated hanging space in the entire property. As a group of older guys this was not a problem (we just laid our clothes and possessions out on a spare bed) but for those with smart clothing / suits / dresses this would be an issue. The rooms could have been a bit cleaner (e.g. signs of dust on skirting boards)

Location excellent! Great for four of us - wouldn't like to stay there with more......

A number of things could have been better - the bolt lock on the bathroom door doesn't work. Only two of us using it so we got round that....but if more were staying...... No mirrors in bedrooms - it would be easy to have one on the wall, at least to see how you're brushing your hair! Putting on make up - only mirror of use is the one in the ground floor toilet A bit more of a clean needed - initially - and overall - we felt it was clean.....but then we noticed sticky, dirty light switches; the chairs hadn't been wiped in a long time.. Dining table and chairs fine for four.....but more? Coffee table very odd - basically a seat? so nowhere to put drinks.......we used plates as drinks mats Nowhere to put clothes, so had to live out of open suitcases...not ideal.....

Beds very comfortable Good facilities

The main room had a nasty smell as we entered Opening back door didn’t help as the smell from the bins was worse We did open the front door but it was very noisy due to traffic
