The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it well-kept. However, a few guests noted areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning or attention, such as windows and kitchenware. These instances appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, being close to the town centre and within walking distance of shops and attractions. The availability of private parking is frequently mentioned as a significant benefit. The proximity to the church and its bells adds a quintessentially English charm, although light sleepers noted their presence.
Most guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the underfloor heating. Some guests, however, found the lounge furniture and dining chairs to be less comfortable, and there were comments about the suitability of the property for six people.

Was lovely and clean, and well equipped.

The only small negative would be we had no wi-fi. The church bells did go through the night and early morning and sometimes did longer rings like a tune and we could hear in the main bedroom. But it does state this so was expected and a beautiful church. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Had to call out of hours as the hot water needed rebooting - service couldn't have been any better and a very friendly lady came promptly and dealt with efficiently. Impressive. Odd things need sorting (ripped tablecloth, tired/stained sofa and out of date welcome folder) but minor and this is a highly recommended stay.
