Carolyn
We loved our stay in this lovely house close on the edge of the Cathedral Quarter. It was so nice to be greeted by thoughtful extras - this really made us feel at home and was very useful too. The house is delightful. The bed is really comfy and the shower is excellent. The kitchen has lots of crockery and cutlery and plenty of pots, pans and other items. We enjoyed walking around the city centre - there are so many interesting buildings and the cathedral itself is wonderful. The house is within minutes of lots of great restaurants and shops but it was still peaceful. We were pleased to have a place to park the car although we could have done the trip by train as the walk from the station is very doable. Jill was a responsive and caring host. We thoroughly recommend this cottage - it couldn't have been better for us.

Absolutely fabulous stay. The house have everything you need. Couldn’t get a more central location. Car park space is a massive bonus. Such good value. The welcome hamper and fridge items were so thoughtful and very generous. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Jill for being such a wonderful host.
