Lovely helpful hosts and lovely views.
Pros:

The view was lovely, the room was clean and had plenty of equipment. The shower had hot water and a sink to wash up.

Cons:

We were on the top floor and the stairs were really steep, not good for the elderly. The bed was too soft so gave me backache so we returned home early. There was too much furniture in the room so we struggled to move. In the end we put the sofa chair in front of the wardrobe to make space. I didn't see anything in the event of a fire a couldn't see any means of escape should there be one so worried me especially as the person next door was smoking albeit it in the bathroom.

Really nice decor but misleading in description
Pros:

Was clean and decorated to a good standard

Cons:

Cold in room on arrival. Was advertised as deluxe studio with garden views, the view was a brick wall covered in bird poo and it was basically a bedroom with en-suite , microwave and a small fridge. The other guests were really noisy and banging around in the early hours. Not what I was expecting as our first stay was much better last year.
