Location perfect, nil storage space for clothes. Having suitcases in the lounge was far from ideal. Also the noise from the cupboard in the middle of the night woke us up regularly. The conversion was very well carried out however but didnt find the chairs or bed and pillows comfortable at all.

Glad your stay was 'perfect' thank you for your comments
Beautiful but...Practical issues, lack of storage, very uncomfortable mattress, sleeping was a real problem

We are sorry that you felt there were some issues we have forwarded your comments to the owner and await their reply.
Very nice property, lovely location, all met the description in the listing. We really enjoyed our stay.Could do with some better thought out storage though. Easily resolved by some more hooks in various rooms so somewhere more to hang clothes and also somewhere to hang coats and wet things. Perhaps even some in the boiler cupboard.
