Great central location with the benefit of a parking permit. Good value but say a welcome pack containing say tea bags, coffee, milk and sugar would have been a nice touch particularly as we forgot to bring our own! Would happily return.

Excellent property located well within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and pubs. Bowness is only a 20-25 minute walk, however the bus stops just over the road from the property. The only issue is when you go inside you can smell damp. This didn’t bother us too much as we was only at the property to sleep. However when we did get home and unpacked, our clothes did smell of the damp.
