Laurel House

Place and comfort and coziness

Nothing may be tight stairs to reach the flat but not a big problem

Spacious accommodation, mostly well-equipped. Toilet is an issue, can bump head easily going down stairs, does not seem to have a door, perhaps I missed that

As above

The property had everything we needed

It was like an oven. I really think they should invest in an aircon unit for the bedroom

The apartment was well kitted out with pretty much everything you needed for the stay - good value for money on that level i would say.

The flat itself was actually good value for the price I paid, and I had no issues with the space. However, the management firm handling the booking made the stay more stressful than it needed to be. There were a lot of hoops to jump through — ID checks, deposits, and various admin steps — and at times it felt like I was doing work for them rather than just checking in. Parking was also confusing. I was given “space 4” even though only spaces 1–3 existed, and the manager later called me to ask which space they’d told me to use. I also wasn’t thrilled about paying £40 for cleaning and then receiving a list of mandatory tasks before checking out, including emptying the bins, especially since I didn’t use the kitchen. Not the host’s fault, but there were very loud students outside during my stay, which made it a bit noisy. Finally, the bed wasn’t very comfortable for me and the pillows didn’t suit me either.
