Very central, but commercial bin collections woke us up a few times in the early hours, as it backs on to shops

Good cottage. Parking was easy enough for us with one car. Top bedroom gave flexibility for sleeping that we used. Property was well equipped.Only problem was the bin collections around the property that happened most mornings causing noise early each morning except weekends.
