The location at Cornwall Gardens (built at the height of the Empire around 1870) is truly impressive and the walk to Gloucester Road a doddle so full mark for location. The house itself is magnificent from the outside and the flat is the whole of the first floor so I guess this combination sets a really high expectation.... so perhaps that's what left us disappointed.
The entrance hall carpet is dirty and stairs leading to flat 3 are badly stained. A musty smell hits on entry and the beds and bedding were well worn and tired.
I honestly think it's a shame because an investment of £2k - £3k on the interiors could easily justify a £20 a night increase in price and leave the interior doing the exterior justice.
A real shame as the place has so much potential.
