The stair case is outside to the loft, in the rain this was an issue, made it feel more like we were camping (so wasn't the 'luxury' expected). This is not clear in the description or photos, if you read a lot of reviews you eventually find it...that said it does have comfy beds, good shower, responsive host, great location, secure parking. The only comfortable place to sit and watch TV is in the loft...traipsing up and down the stairs was a drag as the weather was dreadful. Kitchen has electric fry pan, microwave, coffee machine, bar fridge, no dishwasher but there is a washing machine. The smoke alarm went off in middle of night due to low battery, and we had to pull out the batteries to stop the beeping... I have a fear of this (we have experienced a fire), so this freaked me out a lot...essentially no protection if a fire did break out...change batteries 1 April as recommended and then this is not an issue.
