Short stay on The Shambles
A very convenient location.
A very well equipped kitchen although I only used the kettle and the microwave to cook.
Great to have a washing machine after walking the Coast to Coast prior to my arrival!
However I did find it a little bit noisy in the evenings and in the early morning.
