The rooftop Airstream caravans sounded like lovely quirky accommodation, and having lived previously on a boat, I'm happy in small spaces. This one was looking very tired, though. The curtains were missing hooks, there was dirt and fluff in the corners, loose hooks, and – crucially on a baking day when I arrived – the electric cooling fan mentioned in the description was missing. The guy on reception provided one, but it wasn't working properly. He promised to take another one up for me, but didn't, necessitating back and forth to the roof and back down to reception more times than was necessary. Especially when there were 'wet paint' warnings on the final (narrow) staircase. The shower was a decent size, but the bathroom sink was tiny – almost too small to brush your teeth in, and the plug did not retain water for long enough to wet a facecloth. The location on the roof was also amazingly noisy, as my Airstream directly overlooked an outdoor disco area below, which kept going until the early hours every night of my three-night stay. There was also no security chain on the inside of my door, and the lock was very fiddly. The first time I came to leave after locking it from the inside, I thought I was stuck inside and might have to ring reception from my mobile for assistance. I managed to operate it in the end, but if there'd been an emergency, getting out might have taken longer than was safe. So, overall, a nice idea, but in need of a thorough spring clean and refresh.
