... it is clean, with comfy beds, well equipped.... lovely kitchen.... perfect position for walks. Food at White Lion pub walking distance. Beautiful view from lounge window... watching the boats on the canal. The shower was brilliant. (One tiny comment: no spare in either bathroom when it ran out.) Would totally recommend... and will book again.
