    Great location. Very good to have parking in the centre of the city. House was well presented and owner had considered everything for the perfect stay. Some traffic noise from road at front of property but not surprising given the central location. All in all a great property.

  • Mr Arthur

    A very good and well located cottage. The parking was particularly useful. We really appreciated the welcome pack of box of chocolates, bottle of wine and milk.It had everything we needed for a week's stay.

  • Mrs Marriner

    Great location 2mins from town centre. Very well equipped property with everything you need in the kitchen. Lots of character in the cottage. Comfortable beds. Bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs. Stairs are quite narrow and steep, if you have mobility issues.
