10/10 Excellent

This is an excellent property and is beautifully decorated. It is very quiet and has excellent bedding and air conditioning. One thing to note is that the WC is downstairs in the Constantinople Suite. This can be very tricky to navigate on a narrow staircase in the middle of the night. This is not highlighted on your website. Also, the access is very tight for a vehicle. We had a tiny car and it was difficult negotiating the narrow lane and car park.
