Pros:

Toll war der Parkplatz direkt vor der Unterkunft. Es war auch sauber und es wurde sogar gefragt ob nach einer Woche Bettwäsche und Handtücher gewechselt werden sollen.

Very good
Pros:

Cozy bedroom and a living room. Shower and bathroom are nice and clean.

Cons:

It’s little far from the railway station. Difficult to locate the property in the dark winter. The google maps suggested different route than the actual easier one.

Pros:

Das man eine Hälfte eines Hauses hatte mit separaten Eingang und die Lage einfach toll war - 12 Minuten zum Bahnhof, Ein Restaurant und ein Supermarkt am Weg. Wir jeden Tag eine Flasche Wasser bekommen haben und ausführliche Informationen. Alles sehr gemütlich war.

Extremely clean and comfortable
Pros:

A quiet, comfortable stay on a residential road with off-street parking.

Fresh flowers on the windowsill a welcoming touch. Everything felt very clean and fresh and Shaun provided ample information for our stay.

The shower room is excellent and ample storage available if needed.
Lovely to have windows to open!

Cons:

There is very little soundproofing between the two residences, but putting that aside, the facilities work really well. I welcomed the additional sitting room area, and this really worked well for us.

Pros:

This is a lovely, quiet and relaxing place to stay. There is a sitting room with tea and coffee making facilities, and a bedroom and ensuite, all clean and well cared for. It's not self catering but a fridge was provided which was great. It's located very near to the local chip shop and Chinese (ask for disposable cutlery if you want to eat back at the digs!), and a pub that does meals. We really loved staying here and will stay here again next time we visit Monkey World 😃

Cons:

Nothing!

Great stay and lovely location
Pros:

The town/village is quite small but a lovely place, nice and calm.

The house and locations were very nice. It is easy to find and the directions you recieve are easy to follow. It is a few minutes walk from the train station.

The bedroom was spacious, clean and very well kept. The facilities were, likewise great and lots of space.

The comunual room is large and good to relax and watch some TV after visiting the area and the presence of a small fridge is great.

Just ok
Pros:

The location.
The shower, very powerful 💪

Cons:

It was a bit tired looking and could do with a bit of tlc. Garden overgrown around front door, defective door trim, damaged carpet.

Although not advertised as available, I asked if there was the use of an iron and ironing board. I was flying to the area due a wedding and had a shirt that would need ironed again after travel. Initially I was told no, and when I asked what other guests had done was told no one had ever asked for an iron before. I was then informed by the owner that there was no iron for fear of damage to fixtures and fittings. I could understand this if the place was decorated to a 10/10 standard but imo it's not. In an attempt to come to a compromise the owner then offered me the use of an iron and iron board at a pre-arranged time and only if under supervision. I declined!
