I guess Derek was busy to do breakfast for us, he did not offer any., he did bring us some bread the last morning though to go with the left over supper we brought from the restaurant the night before. He did extra effort to get us WI-FI, appreciated that.
The TV signal was only 60%, so it was unwatchable. We were just wanting some news.

Really enjoyed our stay. Great location, close to amenities, but still very quiet. Dog friendly - our dog loved being able to sit in the garden and so did we! Derek, the host, was friendly and attentive.
Unfortunately, the TV wasn't working while we were there, but we were warned it was temperamental. We had seen other reviews about the TV issues, so we took our laptop to be able to use this to watch films.

host said studio pad was not available at last minute but said he had a room in his house we could use, for the same price, if it was acceptable. I said it wasn’t acceptable and asked for refund. Despite him asking if it was acceptable in the first place, he then started saying that the policy of booking.com was that the host can substitute another room if the booked room becomes unavailable, as if a studio pad and an extra room in some random person’s house was the same thing, so had to contact booking.com to sort the matter out instead of the host.

Everything desired was in there - snack wise. The room was the right size. The bed was warm surprisingly. The toilet and shower were neat and no problems with heating. The location was just off a main road.
Derek was a lovely host. He was very inviting, knowledgeable and held a very pleasant manner.
There wasn't anything not liked. It was like being home from home.
8.0
The host was very hospitable and nice. He gave us very detailed and clear instructions and helped us ease into the room.
Found it to be apart from the rest of the house and very private.
The room was very well decorated.
Loved the choice of books.
The room was utterly soaked in nostalgia and a lifetime of traveling experience. Loved the decor and organisation.
My wife was utterly freaked out by the toilet seat and toilet lid. It was molded transparent plastic with visible blades and barbed wire. It clearly mentioned on an overlying sign that the blades and barbed wire could poke through the plastic and cause injury and a first aid kit is provided in a shelf above.
I for one, am at a loss as to the choice of this particular seat. And we couldn't ask Derek about it.
Had we not met Derek before checking into the room, we would have checked out immediately for fear of sanity.

I was traveling with my dog, there was a nice walk very near to the property. and a nice pub up the road, with live sport, and good food.
There was nothing i didn't like, for the price. I've stayed in five-star hotels. but then you have to pay for that. for the price good value.

We're do I start I travel to Cardiff every week and have stopped in premier inns hotels golf resort and b and bs but Derek was excellent nothing was any trouble for him look forward to seeing you again
8.0
The host was very friendly and was offered a cup of tea and slice of cake on my arrival.
I was also offered a room in the house as one had become available but declined as I preferred the additional privacy of the studio pad.
Lively pub only a short walk away. Had a good meal there at a reasonable price.
There was an eclectic mix of decor which might not be to everybody’s taste. It was looking a little tired in places, but that said it was clean and comfortable and would stay again.

Location was good for the city centre (30 min bus trip in to city centre for £2, £25 taxi back after midnight). The host was fantastic - couldn't have been more helpful. Would highly recommend!
10.0
Host very friendly, with a gsoh, and went out if his way to make sure everything was OK
The converted garage/studio was ideal being detached from the host property.
Nothing really. The TV reception was not very good.though but ok after some aerial tweeking.
6.0
I was offered breakfast but declined. It's nice that the studio is away from the house so you can be alone & not share
I felt some of the questions from the host were a bit intrusive. Slight feeling of being watched. The room was dusty but it served it's purpose. Slightly too pricey for what it is
