- "We didn’t stay because there were 20 stone steps up to the apartment with open railings at the side and landing which we felt was unsafe for us and our dog. Also the fenced in area at ground level was gravel with lots of doors off and nooks and crannies where a dog might go in and be difficult to find The owner said when I emailed the next day said that they would have blocked off the railings if we had asked but we felt that going up and down these stone steps to take the dog out would have been easy to loose your footing. There was a nice welcome package of wine, milk, beer, coffee and homemade flapjacks which we appreciated. The apartment itself was lovely and well presented. "

- "The apartment is in a perfect condition. Everything is very clean and makes a neat impression. The fittings and furnishings are modern but also very comfortable. In the fridge there was some milk, there were tea bags and coffee pods so that one could settle in smoothly. The wi-fi is absolutely reliable, and there is a TV in the living room. There is parking space, too. Altogether the location is quiet and yet so close to the centre of Ripon that one can walk there easily. I felt very much at ease and can surely imagine to stay there again. The only real problem that occurred during my stay has to do with the front door. On my arrival something was stuck in the locking system, so the door wouldn't open even though the PIN was accepted and there was message that the door was unlocked. Another resident turned up, and initially he had the same problem, but then he knew some tricks which I wouldn't have known. From then on the locking system worked. However, on the evening before my departure, I couldn't get in again - this time because the code had been changed. Luckily a resident let me in, and in the flat I found the phone number of the owner of the apartment in the information folder and rang her up. She found out about the new code and sent it to me. Maybe it would be helpful, if one could get the owner's number straight away, perhaps in the email with the access details that is sent 48 hours before arrival. In many cases, I presume, the owner knows best about these technical issues. Apart from that, problems such as these seem to have a tendency to come up outside the regular office hours of Finest Retreats. One last point has to do with the TV in the bedroom. It can only be used with netflix or a similar app, one cannot watch ordinary TV programmes. This is not a real problem, as there is another TV in the living room, but it might be helpful to let people know beforehand."
