Christine
Great location. There was some traffic noise and church clock striking on the quarter hour, but we got used to it. Beds were comfortable, nice fluffy towels and spotless bed linen. It was great to have three bathrooms and downstairs toilet. Welcome sweets and wine were a nice touch. Only minor complaints were downstairs hard floors needed mopping as they felt sticky, clothes airer broken, soap dispensers not working properly and outside lights not working. No instructions in the house about recycling and bin collections. Despite this, would recommend for families.

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.
