The Green Light House Studio 24 - Free Private Parking

We stayed for two nights and, while the hosts were responsive and helpful with parking arrangements, several aspects of the stay did not match the listing or our expectations.

there were several issues:

Room & Facilities:
- The studio is far smaller than the photos suggest. The wide‑angle images create a misleading impression of space.
- Being at ground level next to a busy road, the lack of privacy curtains meant we had to keep the main curtains closed throughout our stay.
- The kitchenette was not practical: the hob was a portable unit stored in a cupboard, and the microwave sat on top of a knee‑height fridge, making it awkward to use.
- Several listed amenities were missing on arrival, including the hairdryer and coffee/tea maker. We had to request the hairdryer despite it being advertised as included.

Comfort:
- The bed consisted of two singles pushed together, and the mattresses were uncomfortable.
- The toilet pan was loose and wobbled.

Noise:
This was the biggest issue.
Traffic noise continued late into the night, and other guests were coming and going loudly until around 4am — shouting, playing music, and slamming doors. With no staff presence visible and no soundproofing, it felt more like a hostel than a studio stay. This made it very difficult to sleep.

Overall:
The studio has potential, but the combination of noise, missing amenities, misleading room presentation, and comfort issues meant the stay wasn’t what we hoped for. Some straightforward improvements could make a big difference, but as it stands, we would not return.

My mattress was way too worn and hard. This is why I gave it overall 9/10. If mattress was newer and more comfortable, it would have been a perfect 10/10.

Nothing

Location of room. Noisy as by front door. Needs better sound proofing.
Heating was too high for time of year

The room was quite crowded with a table and chairs, small fridge and microwave, sink unit bed, sidetables, wardrobe and, small dresser. The curtains weren't blackout and let light in quite a bit. For 2 guests we were given 2 small sized towels- a bath sheet would be better, or provide small hand/hair towels too. The toilet was very low and slightly unstable. We stayed on the ground floor and the door didn't feel very secure. The check in instructions should say it's the bright blue building!

Not essential but no shower gel or shampoos

The check in process wasn’t great and wasn’t told until I arrived that my room had to be changed due to a leak. It was incredibly noisy and could hear every footstep from the room above. Our room was next to the front door so woke up every time someone opened or closed the door. Also our window opened up onto the driveway so we could never get any light in and had to keep the curtains closed or we would have no privacy and everyone would be able to see in. The toilet was also broken and made a bang every-time you sat down.

For the price I paid, I couldn't fault it.

Would have loved a coffee machine as opposed to packs of instant. Small issue that did not detract from our overall satisfaction.

The bed was a little firm for me but thats just personal preference
