Property was great but there was a fridge in the room that kept coming on and whirring all night so really hard to get to sleep and one of the windows didn't have curtains so again not great to sleep. I did raise these issues through Expedia but have heard nothing!

Exceeded my expectations, beautiful house and room (Harry) clean, bright, and spacious with very pretty furniture. The bed was super comfortable, slept wonderfully. The street is busy, with cars and people using it all night, nothing loud, just enough background noise to put you to sleep. The other guests were very quiet, only heard a family coming in at 9 and another one leaving at 7:30. Super location, 10 minutes walk from the castle and with a parking lot 50 yards away. Another plus is the Co-op corner store right across the street. I loved it and will definitely use it if I come to Windsor again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We reserved 2 rooms, one was dirty (hadn't been cleaned after the last guest), no one was available to take care of it. We waited about 3 hours to be told we could have access to another room that was half the size. We did not get a credit for the change in rooms. All rooms are very dated and run down. Location was fine, very quiet but a bit of a walk to town (far more than 5 minutes).
