Lovely cottage, beautifully done, a real home from home.

The beds were soooo comfy and my daughter loved having her own bathroom on the top floor. Itâs perfectly situated very close to the main town and a few minutes walk to the sea and abbey. The view of the abbey from the bedroom is wonderful, especially when it was lit up on our last night. We managed to find a parking spot on St Hildaâs Terrace, and it was fine to leave the car there for three days. There are sometimes parking wardens who are really helpful if you need to ask questions. We did initially park further away then moved in the evening when some people had left.
