"A lovely little gem!"

9.0

The location was fantastic and the accommodation itself was just what we needed. A lovely grade 2 listed building with lovely clean rooms, nicely done out and with everything we needed. Inexpensive and just perfect for a girls weekend.

The shared bathroom was a little grubby looking. (Old rather than dirty) and the sink made a loud noise in our adjacent room when the sink was used.

"As expected and great location"

6.0

Excellent central location Lovely big room with good view Comfortable bed Characterful building- winding staircase, squeaky floors and sash windows.

The bathroom had a strong musty/ damp smell and there was some visible mould around some boxing. Having said that the bathroom functioned well and I appreciated how hard it was to put en-suite into this house!

"Fairly cheap so don't expect much, but a great location"

4.0

Fantastic location and a stone's throw away from everything you need in the City.

Lots of stairs, very basic, a bit rundown, musty and tatty. We were next to the shared bathroom which was no fun at all.
