The only thing I would really mention is there are a couple of small areas of damp around the windows in the living room, no real problem, but there is a very large patch in the corner of the living room which really needs attending to. It is right behind the head of the single bed. It didn't affect us as we didn't use that bed, but I would've been reluctant to sleep with my head so close to the affected area. Other than that no complaints at all and we would stay again.

We loved the fact that as a Grade 2 listed building it had it's little creaks and groans (just like us old people) The flat was well equipped with everything we needed and everything worked well { I think the kitchen tap needs tightening up as it slightly confused the missus} one tiny thing was that the carpet on the very edge of the top step riser of stairs is a bit saggy and could catch people unawares. All in all a very pleasant stay and we would use it again.
