It's the second time we've booked Thistle Dew and will not be the last.Carol provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. Having an extra sofa was a plus.It's a warm 24/7 and comforting especially coming in from the cold days and nights.The under floor heating is perfect!Parking space for a small car is a nice touch, it saves paying for a car park, daily.It's close to the main shopping area, Pier, Theatre, pubs and restaurants.Tv in the bedroom was missing a tv remote so had to change the channel by hand on the sat box, apart from that, it's an excellent place to stay.We'll be back again in 2026.
