Would have got a higher rating if internet had been available but not the owners fault. Openreach taking forever to fix but not in time for our short break. Anyway this place is really quirky. It's an upside-down house suitable for couples who can still climb 16 stairs ( we can just about do it) and enjoy peace and quiet in nice surroundings. Don't try to find it by postcode as it's nowhere near. Just type in St Thomas Lane and you'll find it.Bed is a double but still spacious and very comfy. Shower room and toilet adequate. Kitchen is well stocked but needs some under cupboard led lights to brighten it up. Lounge area is cosy with a large smart TV (which because of Internet problem wasn't smart) and an electric log fire heater. We used this to warm up as the main electric heating wasn't enough. I think it was a timer thing. Ok late on and early morning but not early evening.So all in all it is highly recommended.If you are into birdwatching the owners library will keep you purring . He has written many of them!

The clock tower was small and quaint which we loved .On entering the rooms appeared clean and tidy the only thing that let it down were several cobwebs that the cleaners clearly missed as some appeared to be old!Well stocked with everything you need, plus lots of information on walks and where you could visit.Sofa and chair was slightly hard for our taste but we got used to them.Bed was very comfortable as were the pillows.We were looking for a relaxed holiday with plenty of walks and it absolutely gave us that.A very enjoyable holiday and would recommend the Clock Tower to all.
