Lovely cosy cottage in short driving distance to so many beautiful locations. Great for a walking holiday. Close to pubs and restaurants and shops. Only issue we had was it being so close to a busy road but thats just because we aren't used to it!!! We loved our stay and would definitely go back.x

The house itself is in a good location, on the main road through the town so in easy walking distance to the various shops, restaurants etc. There is a large Co-Op nearby which also has a large carpark behind it which was reasonable.The cottage is very attractive and has period features which make it really quirky and lovely! In comparison with some other cottages we have stayed in it did feel that there was a 'personal' touch lacking. For instance there was no where to hang clothes, outdated books/no pictures on the wall in the spare room, no coffee machine, no bin in the kitchen or lounge which was a pain.
