    Loved the decor and facilities. Everything was clean and tidy and still felt very homely. We did use the pull out bed and found the mattress cover, pillow and duvet, however, no linen was provided. Luckily we had a sleeping bag in the car. Just wanted to note that the stairs are steep to the bedrooms.

    Noisy with neighbours next door and below but a lot of space and rooms. Not very clean, sofas dirty and not vacuumed. Carpets not vacuumed well. Dusty surfaces. Towels very old and over used with stains on them. Recommend take your own towels. Bed linen clean but stained with use so not very appealing to sleep in. Beds comfy. Great bathroom and shower and always hot water. Very warm on top level where you sleep when the weather is hot and very small windows to let air in. The kitchen has everything needed but again needs a good clean everywhere (cupboards and cutlery draw etc). Door to flat is an internal door so not hugely secure but it does lock. The neighbours below kept leaving the main front door open. Perhaps needs a sign / reminder near the door to make sure people close it securely on the Yale.

    It's a really lovely property. Comfortable and well equipped. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and we love all the artwork and books. Excellent location and ideally placed with walks in all directions. Would highly recommend.
