Dislikes: The room was a bit cold and the dark red colour scheme was awful and quite oppressive. Would really benefit from a make over. Also, it absolutely needs a black-out blind as the daylight woke me up!
Response from The Old House: Thank you for your coments, We are in the process of redecorating the bedroom and bathroom to upgrade it and this will be done during the next month. The noise that you heard in the chimmey was the special plastic balloons that have been put in the chimmey to stop the heat excaping as part of our drive to be more energy efficient.
