The property is noted for its comfortable double beds and homely atmosphere. However, no specific mention of other comfort aspects like seating or heating means the score cannot be perfect.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and convenient parking. However, points are deducted for reported issues with internet reliability, a non-working bathroom extractor fan, and a shower screen that wouldn't stay in place.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Bankside is a lovely house /home wish we could have stayed for another week. Definitely a home from home. The only thing negative about it was the internet which kept going on and off which was a bit of a nuisance. Other than that it was perfect.We will be back.

Excellent location close to all local amenities and lovely walks from the door. Several good pubs and takeaways. Good base for exploring further afield. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Only double beds but very comfortable.
