    The stairs to the top are very steep and uncomfortable. The pull-out chair downstairs is in bad condition, the mattress is too thin, the metal frame pierces through, it's good that we only stayed one night, the children couldn't sleep normally.

    Everything was clean and tidy. Large size TV.

    Nothing i can think of. Met the requirement for everything i needed for an overnight stay. Unfortunately i wasn't there long enough to sample all the facilities.

    N/A for Breakfast. Location great for the town centre. Unfortunately i was only there for one night to attend a funeral. I will however bear this location in mind if i should be in the area again.

    We were a bit apprehensive about the steep stairs to the bedroom but got used to that quickly.

    The sitting area was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom very good. Throughout, the decor was attractive. The location was excellent. Although the bedroom was small, it was comfortable and nicely decorated. The accommodation was perfect for a couple.

    The stairs to the upstairs bedroom were a bit scary - it did warn on the description that it was not suitable for people who had mobility issues. They are very steep.

    It is beautifully decorated with a lovely little patio out the back. I loved the ambience - very relaxing. Lots of things there to make the stay comfortable - towels, hand towels, tea towels in the kitchen, well supplied kitchen. Excellent location. The shower room was lovely too.

    Stairs unsuitable for people with mobility issues. Access to the bed also abit awkward for older people. The small shower has narrow opening. Would benefit from mat inside shower.

    Central location. Comfy bed. Well equipped kitchen. Pretty courtyard. Key collection very straightforward.

    There was only enough hot water for 1 person to have a shower, this was rectified by contacting the host who turned on the Hive water heater. There was no heating which was a bit inconsiderate when you factor in the weather we had. The fold out sofa bed is broken so we had to lay the cushions and mattress on the floor. There was no sugar provide for drinks. The blind above the kitchen door is broken and hanging off. There are only 2 comfy seats for watching tv, there are 4 hard chairs around the table which have to be used instead.

    Location was great for Rebellion way cyclists and bikes can be put in the courtyard at the rear of the property, however there is no cover from the elements.
