Our stay was sadly really affected by multiple building works going on around the house. The house next door is being renovated which started around 8am each day with drilling and sawing, then there are 2 building sites on two sides of the property (the old brewers quay and the other I think was a car park) which also had banging drilling and shouting going on from even earlier. The property would really benefit from double glazing. Also taxi drivers sit on the benches across the road shouting from 6am when cruise ships are arriving to pick up passengers which also woke us up multiple times.

The windows were filthy and had not been cleaned for a long time - perhaps due to being in the midst of a building site. The en suite bathroom had a damp odour and would benefit from some fresh air circulating. We did not use it. The allocated parking space had been taken by someone else when we arrived. The rubbish stored in the parking space, old tyres, planks of wood with nails protruding and general debris was tidied up during the week, but had not been completely removed. The view from the window into the courtyard at the front was of dustbins and building works.
