Good
Pros:

Very charming property and the location was good. The beds were really good!

Cons:

The staff used the bathroom by my room and it was not exactly a big issue but between 10 pm to 11:30 pm the staff could be aware that are room with guests and be less noisy to go to the toilet. They were not cautious with the doors opening and closing at all.

The Mews Apartment Needs Refreshing
Pros:

Staff and location and amenities were excellent

Cons:

The apartment needs to be refreshed, the bathroom is outdated and the paintwork on the whole needs to be redone. There is evidence of a dog chewing the windowsill and skirtings

It’s nice place to stay . Is nice places round.
Pros:

The staff perceptions and the breakfast a lady, a very nice and helpful ..

Cons:

The value what I have paid is a little bit expensive just for one night . Was no water in the room to drink.
Don’t forget, we are in nowhere all the shops around are closed around 3 o’clock so if you don’t have a water to drink you have to drink from The tap and obviously not filter or safe .
You need a water to provide for the guest in your room or at least a filter jug ..
The restaurant staff they have different ways that’s do the standard if are busy they’re not taking any people, even you were staying in a hotel as a guest.
Is no around a good place for a food to eat . All a proper old food is already made
I’ll recommend book in the restaurant in advance. I hope you will be fine a place or a space.
