9/10 Wonderful! (1,674 reviews)
Nice room in a convenient location. Was worried it would be noisy as I was directly opposite lifts and overlooking Lime Street station roof, but no problems. Also more places should have a massive fish tank in the lobby.

8.2/10 Very Good! (39 reviews)
Apartment was in a fantastic spot, close to everything! A lift would have been ideal, as it's quite a walk upif you're at the top apartment! The downstairs bar / kitchen was great, an ideal place to get started, drinks / food was reasonably priced, the apartment was clean & everything worked fine, sofa beds not the comfiest so didnt make a great quality sleep, no complaints for the single beds though, all in all, a great trip had by all, excellent base to get your head down / get ready :) Thanks!!

Pike O' Stickle is the site of a Stone Age axe factory. Archaeologists have found discarded axe heads strewn on the scree which descends into the valley below. A kind of prehistoric rubbish dump for axe makers. Years ago people used the scree as a quick descent route to the valley floor. It's very much frowned upon nowadays and the scree is much depleted. I wonder how Stone Age man returned to the valley without walking boots to keep dry and safe.
