A lovely property with a huge gated garden laid to lawn. Plenty of parking spaces close to the house . Local pub 2 mins walk. Ideally situated for visiting the Tram Museum. Very well equipped. Property. On a personal note because I have a sight problem , I would have liked brighter lights throughout the property rather than low energy bulbs. Bath fills in a blink of of an eye and the electric shower is fantastic.We have booked a return visit for later this year.

Despite me having a sever allergic reaction to a curry on my first night making me quite poorly, this wasn't any fault of Holly Bank Cottage, the cottage is in a beautiful location, and provides everything you should need, i really do hope to revisit and enjoy the stay in a way first intended.
