However, we were very much let down by the cleanliness of the place. Fridge, pantry, sink, stove, dishwasher, bathroom all need a thorough scrub! Also next to a reasonably busy road, so you could hear the cars passing by. Good location, I would recommend if it were clean and the main road didn't bother you, but was very disappointed - especially in the state of the kitchen. ##### Yogini P.

Mismatched crockery and cutlery and cupboards needed sorting. Few cobwebs and dusty surfaces. Great space for families and lovely garden. Ideal location close to everything. Suggest a few pictures on the walls to celebrate the building's origins. ##### Angela W.
