    Comfortable and spacious accommodation beautifully maintained, close to shops, pubs, restaurants, castle and riverside walks. We were a family group of 6 so 2 cars used Yorke Square car park and paid just under £20 for the week. Parking outside the property is limited to 2 hours with a pass available in the property. Highly recommended property. We’d definitely book again.

    We had a wonderful stay at Brittain House. The house is spacious, very clean and furnished/equipped to a very high standard. We loved all the different art work around the house. Off road parking space, with a car park close by for a second car. Just a few minutes walk into town but in a very quiet area.Would definitely recommend Brittain House, it was perfect.
