Property is clean but smells of dogs we moved the rugs out of the property during our stay which helped. Need to remove them. No back garden so dog had to be taken for walks every time he needed to go out. So not ideal. But good value for money clean and comfortable beds.

The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The furniture and fittings were of high standard and the shower was great! We knew the area well so we knew the location was perfect for us. There was tea, coffee and milk pots provided for arrival but unfortunately no toilet roll so I would suggest you bring yourself a roll. The local coop however, is only a 5 minute walk away. Our only disappointment was the outside space as the property was advertised as having an outside patio/garden area which it does not. It is a covered area off the kitchen which leads into a back alleyway - something to consider if you are looking for an outside space. We did have a dog so this space was something which helped our choice, so it was disappointing. That being said, we would stay here again. It was lovely.
