We all loved it at Cornerstone. The parking is a bit precarious as it is a cul-de-sac and cars and vans have to turn alongside the house to back up to the allocated parking pace. There are two free car parks however just across the way and I was able to park my car with my blue badge outside the house on double yellow lines all night without a problem. The Tumble dryer didn't work and the garden wasn't enclosed so our little Spaniel wasn't able to be let loose. They say dogs are not allowed upstairs, and so they should put a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs. The Double bed didn't have a memory foam mattress but acceptable. Everything else was wonderful, clean and beautifully decorated and furnished. We would go to Cornerstone again.

We were a group of friends who wanted to get away for the weekend and Cornerstone was perfect. The place was well equipped, clean and a good location. As others have said the parking bay is only suitable for a small car. Mine was a mini and just about fitted in the space but the local car park was free for the weekend and only a couple of minutes walk.We will definitely consider coming back for a similar weekend.

Hello,This property was lovely and comfortable, ideal for a family on holiday in the area. The bedroom were very nice, cosy lounge and dining area. Practical kitchen and bathroom. However, the parking was very difficult. We didn't realise the parking space was so small and in the end we parked along the side of the house (normally not allowed). On street parking was very difficult to find. So overall great, but if could be allowed to park alongside the house, even better ! Thanks for a great stay !
