    Big shower head we couldn’t get to work but had a smaller one little bit noisy on the front but it won’t put me off staying again

    Love it was like home from home I’ve stayed at this place 3 times but first time at the Shakespeare we love the roomy feel but think we would stay at the Brontë suite again .

    We were baffled when we couldn't find the light switch in the bathroom. The electric sockets tripped but we didn't plug anything in.

    Beautiful apartment. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Quirky features.

    It took a while to find the location, as the postcode takes you somewhere else. The surroundings of the building are not the friendliest, it didn't make me feel safe walking on the street to be honest. The staircase kids gate was very difficult to install (good thing they had one available in the storage), unfortunately our little one (3 years old) still fell down the stairs when the gate became unstable. Luckily, she was ok with just a few scratches, the stairs carpet was soft enough to absorb the shock all the way down. I suggest installing a fixed childproof system, as the stairs handrail is starting from the second step, the danger of falling is higher than in normal UK stairs designs. The bathroom a bit mouldy and the finishing look a bit superficial, but you can see that a lot of effort was put into making it look nice. The windows are lower than normal and there is no safety lock for kids, this might be very dangerous if a child goes out on the roof in a split of a second when the window is fully open. Abrupt angled roof, 15m height, you do the math...Better to be safe than sorry ...🙂

    The apartament looks really nice, the building is very old and it has a wonderful personality. Amazing looking living room, nice bar, comfy beds. Good deal for the money.

    Minor irritant was the spoke alarm went off every time despite opening all window and having extractor fan on full. other than that everything else was very good and met all expectations. My wife and I are over 70 and as we were on the top floor, the stairs were tiresome.

    Location suited my needs perfectly as I have family in Mexborough and Rawmarsh and Swinton is in the middle. The apartment was well equipped and towels, bed linen, toiletries were all provided. Although we had brought our own it was also nice to see that tea and coffee were provided and the fridge was an excellent size

    We were short on spoons as a cutlery item. We didn't realise there were washing machines until the final day (hidden in the bathroom)! No check out requirements listed (hopefully we met them).

    A lovely property with excellent amenities. Location is not a normal tourism area but is close to the Peaks and met our needs very well. Parking is via a side street.
