It's in a fabulous location with lovely views. We had problems with parking, arriving late at night we didn't notice the disc zone sign on the arch as its not lit up. There we no lines o parking restrictions notices on the road where we parked, next to the triangle, so 2 out of our 3 cars got fines. This was also after I rang Steve number, the number supplied on the back of the door to ring if any problems, he said it was OK to park there. He also informed me that he is no longer in charge of the property. The large front room was very cold, the thermostat is in the hall and kept knocking off when the small hall had reached temp. Maybe a suggestion would be to move the thermostat and get some warm curtains to cover the large glass windows. The master bedroom definitely needs larger bedding. It appeared to be a double quilt on a king-size bed. It did not cover us well at all. The instructions to open up the property need to be re wrote. I maybe my mistake, followed the instructions step by step whilst carry out the process, I didn't read ahead. We climb the 4 flights of stairs with our cases to find out then that the key to the appointment was being the drain pipe down stairs. Maybe this could be mentioned first. Parking in the allocated spot is also very very tight to get into and out. Finally I was sent an e mail each day reminding me to strip the beds when we leave. However I do think when paying 360 for a 3 night stay this should be covered in your cleaning cost. Please advise people of the public SBC parking opposite for ove rnight extra parking at £10. 50 for 24 hours it's much cheaper than the 2 parking fines we received. It's a lovely spacious appointment and very very clean, we appreciated the games and had great fun playing them, we also left pne of our games to add to the collection as we had such fun with your games. Thank you

Really appreciate the parking space! The extra door keys were really helpful. I saw that you are planning a grabrail to help get in and out of the shower - that will definitely improve the bathroom - i felt a bit unsafe getting in and out, though taller folk probably donât have any bother. The wifi/TV is not the best - is there any way this can be boosted? Thank you!
