We liked the facilities. The living room, kitchen and dining area were great. Each floor had a shower and toilet, so it was perfect for a large group. The owner was easily contactable and very helpful, allowing a late checkout for one of our party who was immobilised.

Some of the decor was a bit tired, but this is reflected in the excellent price.

The location and amenities of the property are great. Beds were comfortable and kitchen facilities were handy. Communication with host was excellent.

The property was a bit tired and could do with some updating but it was clean and comfortable.

We loved the great owner who was helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had before or during our stay. The house was spacious and well equipped for our group of eleven adults. The beds and duvets were comfortable and clean. It was lovely to have the communal areas where we could all meet and enjoy each others’ company in the dining room or lounge. This is where a house beats a hotel where we would have each been isolated in our own rooms. The location of the property is great: half an hour’s easy walk to the centre , or there is a bus stop right outside the house. It’s nice to have an outside courtyard to enjoy during sunny moments too. The downstairs bedroom with its own toilet and shower right next door was incredibly useful for my 87 year old mother who can no longer manage stairs easily. This was actually the deciding factor in making us choose this property over others. We were able to make the house lovely and cosy with the central heating and plentiful hot water, which was greatly appreciated. We also loved the fact that the owner told us he is planning on updating and improving the house in the coming months, as this will make it a really desirable rental property for large groups.

The showers were tricky to use and seemed to go from hot to cold without warning. On the last day we found a piece of paper that had swung backwards out of sight in the middle-floor shower telling us that it had broken and was not to be used, which explains why we had particular trouble with that one! I imagine the new owner will update them soon and then it’ll be lovely to have four good, working showers in the house. Some of the house seemed to need a good clean as we found quite a few bits and pieces on the floor or under beds in the bedrooms that had been left by previous tenants. A good Spring clean would make a big difference here to whether the house feels clean or not.

Very convenient for our needs

More basic than expected
