All five of us slept very poorly, as there traffic noise was incessant, through the day and at night. The sash windows, though in keeping with the building did not make any traffic noise. Due to this, we would not stay in this property again. The kitchen would benefit from more crockery and particularly more mugs. The beds were comfortable, and the house was comfortably furnished.

But the duvet was too hot and heavy.
