Felicity
It was comfortable and very convenient for the town's restaurants and shops and also for the canal boat experience. Lovely views from the outside areas. Shortfalls - only one very small chopping board and no wooden spoons! Also, why all the clutter? Too many unnecessary ornaments which didn't really enhance the charm of this otherwise characterful cottage. More is less! We would have appreciated some information regarding the cottage, it's history etc Overall we would recommend this property for it's comfort and location. Many thanks.

Perfect location and easy parking. Comfortable and warm A key for the shed would have been useful, so we could have kept our bikes in there.

Bedrooms nice. Bathroom the shower was not working correctly but leaking. The living room was a bit musty but really not big enough for 4 Adults especially when eating. The outside areas with views were wonderful but you do need the weather . I would visit again if there was a discount involved.
