It was very quiet and peaceful, yet within very easy walking distance of a range of shops and services. Within the town are a range of cafes, pubs and restaurants offering a range of foods . Couldn't fault it at all.

The designated parking spaces are an essential feature. We experienced no noise whatsoever from the nearby social club. The beds are comfortable and the showers have good water pressure. Good quality bedding and towels provided. We appreciated the good communication about key collection from Alison who also kindly gave recommendations for places to have Sunday lunch. The riverside outdoor space at the back of the cottage is a very pleasant. The only small criticism is that, at the time of our visit, most of the plants in pots had died and weeds were growing up through the gravel. A little extra regular maintenance in this area would make this area absolutely lovely. We very much enjoyed our stay at Batemans.
