What a fabulous location. Situated right off the high street with pubs and eateries. Locals were extremely friendly and informative about their town too. The cottage accommodated our family incl dog over the New Year. Plenty of room and comfy beds. The sofa bed downstairs was super comfy too!Very warm throughout and well equipped kitchen. Bedding, towels etc... Super efficient communication with the owner throughout our stay. I would recommend a stay to anyone and we look to return again in the future.

Lovely house in a splendid small town. In the heart of a lovely town, surrounded by countryside to walk and cycle in. Five pubs to choose from, numerous cafes. Went to a concert at the local leisure centre one night - check their listings! Music at pubs on Saturdays and Sundays. Very lively for such a small place. Nothing to dislike.

Great cottage, lots of space, well equipped and good communication with owners. Loads of accessible walks from the doorstep, some quirky little shops in town and a good roast at the Three Tuns.
