Positive: The location couldn’t have been better. We found this worked out much cheaper than a hotel in that area and gave us all our own room as well as a lovely livingroom to sit and chat. We had a great time and The Priests Hole restaurant just yards away was so good we went back. Negative: Obviously it’s two single rooms and a double so ideal for families. For three friends sharing, the downside is that some rooms are better than others but we knew that when we booked!

Positive: Lovely and comfortable living room with a Smart TV and a nice selection of games, books and DVDs. Great location, very central and short walk to all amenities. Kitchen was well-equipped, with all the useful appliances, including an additional fridge freezer in the garage. Plus washing machine and dryer. The double room was a nice space and overall the flat had a nice ambience. The garage was very useful and spacious, although the entrance is tight from the alley. Negative: The single rooms were small and we didn't like the mattresses. They were springy and soft, and found them quite uncomfortable. The back single is adjacent to a metal staircase, a pub and in the direction of the opposite Tapas bar, all of which were noisy at late hours.

We spent a happy cosy Christmas week there. Positive: Very cosy, really well equipped, very clean and in a fantastic location. Have the parking was also a massive bonus. It was a great base for some lovely walks without needing to use the car Negative: The steps to the living room are a little steep for if you were not steady on your feet but not an issue for us

Positive: The location of this accommodation along with the parking made this an excellent stay. We were able to walk to the restaurants and shops with ease.
