A lovely clean cottage very well thought out, with all that one would expect. Very comfy beds too. Very close to the town centre and the beautiful Fitz park. Our only concern over the on road parking was sometimes we had to park elsewhere, then moved the car later on. That said, we had a fab time and would recommend it.

Warm and cosy. Would benefit from 2 seater sofa in lounge rather than standalone chair.
