The Funky Monk

A gorgeous apartment in a very convenient location. Beautifully decorated and well equipped, very comfortable with high quality linen and toiletries. Tea, coffee etc were good quality and milk capsules in the fridge, although one had leaked onto the shelf.

Heating was very high when we arrived and all the windows were open because it was so HOT (28degrees). The thermostat didn't work and we ended up turning all the radiators off. However, the heated towel rail in the bathroom was so burning hot that it scalded my arm when I brushed up against it. This was quite serious and was the first heater we had to turn off. Not a single app on either of the two TVs was working and one remote didn't work at all whilst the other had low power in the batteries. The light by the main front door was not working and made it hard in the dark to use the access app, especially for the first time. The overflow to the bath wasn't connected - fortunately, I don't think we were likely to be filling the bath that much. The above are all matters that the service company should be sorting out as a regular activity. A couple of small design points - electrical sockets were not co-located with a mirror, making it difficult to dry hair with hair dryer. Need a small shelf somewhere by the bath to stand shampoo etc as reaching over the side of the bath when either showering or bathing is annoying.

Nicely decorated

A very long flight of stairs to get up to the door. A complicated key access that required getting an app which was finicky at first. The extremely dirty rugs that had clearly not been vacuumed at all. The cobwebs throughout the place. The parking was not explained and we had to call to find out.

This is a really pretty suite in a central location near the station. We appreciated the big sofa, kingsize bed, and having a kitchen including kettle, fridge and tea / coffee supplies. With the windows closed it was very quiet, and the curtains were very effective at excluding light so we could sleep later. Bath / shower arrangement was unusual, but functional.

Access was annoying. After booking I got a message telling me to send them my email address followed by an email from a third party telling me create an account with a key management app. I did so, but it then showed me an error message saying I had no permission. We called them and arranged to collect a key fob at a hotel out of town, which worked out fine, but required an extra 20 mins of driving.

Cosy Modern Hot tub lovely Great kitchenette with tea coffee washing up liquid Lovely snacks Fab tv Great location Helpful staff when we couldn’t use our digital card

Pillows too soft Outside light didn’t work in the back yard for the hot tub

Very boujie! Lovely space and definitely funky!

Lack of parking and out of main town; could have done with a hoover as lots of crumbs on the carpet.

Comfortable beds, reception moved our apartment due to issues with initial apartment. Comfortable modern living area. Good temperature control in apartments, lovely shower and bath facilities.

Strong smell in initial apartment that was booked. Fridge, freezer and hot tub broken, reception was helpful and moved us to another apartment which was lovely of them, then hot tub was lovely. I think housekeeping could have been better, cobwebs dotted around, bird poo on chairs outside with seat cushions missing- only back rests and sweet wrappers on floor in the bedrooms.

The room was beautiful any decorated and bed/bedding very good. Hot tub was nice to use in the evening and room was spacious for two. Location was excellent and metered parking just outside and not expensive for weekend.

Is a service apartment but no utensils to cook with, one milk saucepan and one frying pan , no serving dishes etc The tap in kitchen is burning hot and could burn whereas the shower was just warm and couldn’t adjust temperature. The APPS on the tv were locked so unable to access them which was very inconvenient. We also contacted about late check out but didn’t hear back at all . The cost of the apartment is high and wouldn’t expect these problems .
