    Nothing to dislike.

    Lovely big airy space. Very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfy and the selection of three pillows was appreciated. Having Velux roof windows was great to let in some fresh cool air but no bugs, as they have fly screens ( we prefer fresh air to Aircon ).

    There was nothing that we didn't like.

    There was contactless entry on arrival, it was on a quiet street, instructions for everything were so clear eg. the 2 skylights, working the 2 remotes for the tv, the bathroom fan. Everything was clean and prepped before our arrival.

    The owners are amazing! Friendly and helpful. The accommodation is comfortable and feels more like a home away from home. Comfortable bed, lovely shower, good wifi, clean, great cooking facilities if you need them, helpful instructions, close to shops and city, and neat decor. A wonderful stay and I would definitely stay again. Thank you!

    We liked everything! The owners truly thought of everything for this accommodation. I am convinced they must have travelled themselves to know exactly what a guest would like and not like. Exceptional attention to detail. Communication was quick and friendly; the place was amazing (bigger than the photos portrayed); the security top notch, bathroom beautiful and great size; everything needed for our stay was there, plus extra!; super clean; tastefully decorated; nice retro decor; kitchen had all we needed to cook and eat; bed was comfy, sofa bed did the job when other family stayed as well; car parking easy and plenty of choice; location good for our purpose; price was just right (first time I have come across a reduction for 3rd person staying - very generous); lighting was good for atmosphere with the dimmers; skylights were a bonus; plenty of loo roll; nice size towels and great to have a heated towel rail. We met the owner when we arrived - she was super friendly and accommodating - perfect stay! Thank you!

    Very minor but it would have been nice to have another mug as there was three adults and only two mugs

    The decor in the place was deliberate and aesthetically pleasing without being over cluttered. The space had been renovated to a high standard and you can tell the owners didn’t take any shortcuts. The room had everything we needed and the host was quick to respond when we couldn’t find an iron. Absolutely loved our stay here and it was perfect for us.
