A fabulous period cottage. Love decor and very well equipped kitchen. Delightful touches such as welcome fruit cake.very comfortable furniture and beds. Warm and a true home from home. Onstreet parking could be a little tricky. But we always managed to park close by. Then there are the bells from the minster. The first night we found we were a bit disturbed, but by the second night we were fine. Absolutely recommend
