Host & Stay - The Old Sweet Shop

Very clean, only 10 minute walk to town centre. Parking space. Nice stay but lacking the personal touch some other apartments provide.

Only one key provided. Only one toilet roll for 3 people for 5 days. Parking space taken when we arrived, but fine once the greedy people with 3 cars went the following day.

Location

Hot water in the shower was far too hot and the children were not able to shower as it would have burnt them, we phoned up to report it on the first day and they said someone from the maintenance team would be in touch but never heard from them . Beds were old and sagged in the middle, very uncomfortable and parking was a tiny space and we got blocked in by a car not in a designated space and were delayed leaving by 2 hours and only managed to leave when the residents from number 5 left

Nice apartment, clean everything you needed

Location was good, short walk into town, but nice and quiet

If I’m being picky, mattresses were too soft

Very nice property and a great location

While our stay had its highlights, there are a few areas that could use improvement. Firstly, one of the mattresses felt quite worn, with noticeable sagging in the middle and the springs becoming uncomfortable due to its flatness. It’s clear this zip-lock bed has experienced some wear over time and might benefit from replacement. Secondly, parking was a bit of a frustrating experience. We parked in the allocated spot, marked as A4, but on our second day, we found a note on our car windshield indicating we shouldn’t park there. This was confusing and unpleasant, especially as there’s only one "Number 4" spot in the small back car park, and we parked as instructed. Lastly, the shower presented a challenge—it runs excessively hot without the option to adjust to a colder temperature. This isn’t ideal, particularly for families needing to bathe children. However we would recommend Host & Stay and would return in the future.

The Location of this place is perfect! I came with my 2 boys (aged 3 and 7) and it was perfectly placed to just walk into the main center. No tired little legs! The places itself is lovely. Clean, modern - what more can you ask for!

I have two niggles (I don't want to call them complaints!) The first is that because this is a ground floor flat, there were occasions in the evenings where the upstairs neighbours were a little noisy - nothing major but you can hear chairs moving and people walking around. The Second is that as it is located on the main road, you can hear the traffic outside. Neither of these can be controlled, and it wouldn't put me off staying again.

Beds were really comfy. Cottage was clean and well equipped. Contact with host was good. Parking was a real bonus.

Sofas were a little uncomfortable. The bathroom is very small with a few issues that could be easily fixed.

The location, beautiful kitchen, bed in the bottom bedroom was extremely comfy, ease of check in/out and communication with host and stay, ease of heating the place and the parking

Bathroom (toilet seat broken, no soap and mouldy smell) Lack of comfort on the sofas Lack of cleanliness on the floors (socks ended up filthy)
