Do not book
Pros:

Only the location

Cons:

It was dirty my sister had to clean the kitchen area & microwave before we could use anything plus the fact the boxes outside the door to our room was health and safety issue it there was a fire as no way I could have got out there or through the window either. Also the dish sponge that was left was horrible.

If you’re going for a weekend of debauchery then this is your place to just crash. It is not suitable for families
Pros:

The owner seemed friendly enough, but the property has massive issues.

Cons:

Bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly, toilet was broken and not fixed until I sorted it myself, not enough plug sockets in the room with a fridge plugged into a 4 socket extension lead which is a massive fire hazard. The fire exit was totally blocked by random boxes in the way in front of my room. The room in general just felt tired, poorly decorated and like a student dorm. The shower head holder was non existent meaning you had to hold the shower at all times. I understand its budget, but this shouldn’t even be £20 a night let alone the £60 per night I paid.
