Fantastic property in a great location. Loved the period features/quirkiness. Only criticism was that the water in the shower wasn’t very warm at all. Nothing wrong with the water coming out of the bath taps/handheld shower or the bathroom sink so not sure why there was an issue with the main shower, but apart from that it was fab.
