Then head back to Angel Lane, head into town for a lovely dinner or relax and unwind in the cosy living room and talk about adventures yet to come. Just perfect!

Cottage was lovely - quirky and full of character. It was clean, comfortable and the decor is fab! The basket of goodies which was in the kitchen when we got there was very welcome. We were able to find parking reasonably near to the cottage with no problem. We would recommend!

A lovely cottage located in the town centre. Very well equipped and a lovely welcome pack. Great to have a conservatory as if the weather is not so good you can sit in this light area to read. Very comfortable bed. Stairs very steep and not suitable for young children as the details states. We e enjoyed a week here with plenty of close by things to do.

The holiday house was lovely overall, but the lack of convenient parking and the slippery, winding stairs let the property down slightly.We had a three-year-old with us, so the stairs became a stressful part of each day as we constantly had to hold his hand and make sure he didn’t fall.One positive surprise was that the second bedroom is not accessed through the small hatch shown in the booking photos. In reality, there are two separate winding staircases leading up to the bedroom, although neither is pictured. The hatch is simply a charming opening through which guests can communicate with one another.Overall, we had a great stay.
