Location and Amenities
The properties is located in the centre of Stratford, with proximity to the farmer's market, bus stop, and other attractions. The area is quiet, with rooms away from the road. The pool is a stand-out feature, with a perfect water temperature and canopy for shade. The property also has a large kitchen, communal area, and private outdoor spaces.
Cleanliness and Comfort
The rooms are described as spacious, clean, and tidy, with storage space for belongings. The private en-suites are also said to be clean and tidy. However, Dylan's review states that the pool could have been cleaner, with bugs and debris present. They also mentioned that their room was small and had a weird rumbling sound.
Breakfast and Food
Dylan's review states that the "complimentary" continental breakfast was disappointing, with canned fruit salad, stale toast, and small containers of oats and yoghurt. They also mentioned that there was no fresh fruit, cereal options, or tea.
Service and Owner
Felicity, the owner, is described as a lovely lady who helped the guests with organizing and providing information. However, Dylan's review states that the landlady seemed disinterested in customer feedback and did not address their concerns about the breakfast.
