The Space: Upon entering Staffordshire Hideaway, you’ll be welcomed into a bright and airy open plan kitchen, living and dining space.

Over night stay.
Lovely property however not cleaned to very high standard’s. Check in time is 4pm however you have to leave by 10am. We called to ask for an early check in considering check out is 10am and got told this wasn’t possible, however we arrived at 2.45 and the property was ready and available. The company said they would call if property was available earlier however no call.

Lovely accomodation but noisy
The accomodation is stunning. Well kitted out with stylish decoration and lovely furniture however, the noise from the upstairs apartment was at times unbelievably loud. Resulted in early mornings as you woke up when they woke up and then distracting through the day. Don't know if it's floor boards or lack of insulation so need to be aware and prepared.

At the mercy of whoever is upstairs
The place is Immaculately decorated and very well appointed with high quality appliances.
The problem with the property is that it feels that there has been no soundproofing between the apartment and the upstairs accommodation. We are assuming that has hardwood floors. Children running and jumping and furniture moving - all in a normal way I’m sure - was incredibly noisy when you are sitting downstairs in the place we rented.
