Everything was considered. The street it was situated in was a bit rough around the edges but Walpole House was like an oasis. It was near a shop and pub and a chippy which were handy. When we arrived the cooker hop wouldn't work but Barbara came out of her way to fix it for us. PS the stairs up to the bedrooms were very steep!

Everything was very clean and the house had everything we needed. 15 minute walk to the high street and the road is so quiet. Managed to park outside the house with no issues, but there are two free car parks less than a 5 minute walk away. Will 100% be staying here again when we next visit.
