Fantastic location. But, insect infestation on top floor, half of our group booked alternative accommodation and stayed elsewhere after seeing it. Door heights on top floor also an issue if you are taller than 5ft or have a bad back. Fridge way too small for 6 people staying for a week with only a tiny freezer compartment. Showers are "temperamental" and looking at previous reviews this has been a problem for over a year. Bathroom water pressure is also terrible. No toilet roll or milk provided on arrival either. Sofa and bed were comfortable.

Great location. Spacious very comfortable & decently equipped flat. Suited our group well & we really enjoyed our stay. Would happily recommend. Do think there should be reference to the very short doors in the upstairs bedrooms. Appreciate it’s all to maximise the space in the eaves, and the bedrooms are a decent size, but adults do have to be flexible to get through the doors. And some hooks for towels in the upstairs bathroom would be helpful.Plus the electric radiator thermostats don’t work, so the options are on & at the temp preset, or unplugged. The downstairs bathroom thermostat is set at 36!! It was so hot that it could be a health & safety issue for burns.
