The suite was nicely appointed with everything we needed. Many thanks to our host, who popped in on Day 3 to see how we were doing (and showed us how to open the garden door). We loved your home and your neighbourhood! Linda and Tim (from Winnipeg, CANADA)"

I was excited about the property; it looked good in pictures and seemed like a great place to get over our jet lag from a long overseas flight. The host was great about communicating before our stay. When we landed a the airport, I contacted the host and asked if it was possible to check in at 2:30 instead...

"Regular annual visitors to this hotel so knew what to expect. Room was large and clean. Staff we came across were all very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast room was very well stocked there was a really wide choice from the buffet. River walk of about 15 mins into the city. Very quiet at night on this occasion. Onsite car parking is £25 per day. Check in agent did not ask for payment and when i asked i was told it was included which surprised me as it never used to be. I went back later and challenged them on this again and surprise another check showed it wasn't so an apology was given and £50 was taken. Failure to pay would mean a £100 fine later on so beware of this. Couldn't get a stable picture on any tv channel which was a little frustrating but then we weren't there to watch tv."
