The property is generally found to be cosy and adequate. Some guests, however, mention issues with bed comfort, soundproofing, and the suitability for those with mobility issues or small children due to the spiral staircase.
The property is well-equipped, but some guests noted aging kitchen equipment, a small cafetiere and teapot, and a dryer that didn't work. The occasional lack of scissors and issues with the WiFi were also mentioned.

On the whole was comfortable and clean. Down side beds too soft and not comfortable to sleep on. No natural light during the day in the living room was strange but not too bad. We had a great week staying there it had all we needed and was cosy and comfortable downstairs. Great location for walking and exploring the area.
