Nice place but would never stay in the same room again
Pros:

The room was really spacious and had lots of fresh air and light.

Cons:

We didn't realise that we would have to carry our luggage up 29 stairs (approx 3 floors worth) to get to our room! When I mentioned this to reception I was told that it was written in the description of the property online and to be fair it was there when I checked, but we didn't notice this when we booked. My husband had heart surgery a few months ago, so this really was tough for us - we're in our mid 60s. It spoiled things for us unfortunately and maybe needs to be mentioned in the confirmation email?
