Comfortable stay with nice...

Positive: Well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Negative: The microwave was very low on the floor and you had to get on your hands and knees to get to...
Response from Management
Hi Tracey, Thank you for providing feedback for us. I'm glad you felt the room was well-equipped and comfortable. For instructions, the QR code to scan is on a kitchen cupboard, but on the TV home page you have the reception contact number, if you send us a message we can respond with an instructional video. We understand our design is not for everyone, it isn't something we would be looking to change for the time being, but every Locke is different so if you check out another property, theirs may be more obvious! Best wishes, Grace
