A lovely cottage, very well presented and in a great location. But, there are only wooden blinds in the bedrooms, no curtains which we found a real issue, especially as there is a street light opposite the front bedroom window which remains on all night, unfortunately. Otherwise couldnt fault it.

A very well presented cottage in a lovely location just a few minutes from the high street. It was great having the allocated parking, even though it was 5 mins walk away, as parking is difficult in the narrow streets. The small courtyard was lovely to sit out in during the evenings. We should point out that there is no dining table at the propertyRead more so unless you are eating in the courtyard you have to sit on bar stools at the island unit which isnt that comfortable for any length of time. Also, if you are 6 foot or more you will not fit under the shower head in the ground floor bathroom! Hide
