The cottage's garden is a beloved feature, offering a tranquil suntrap. Repeat stays and heartfelt recommendations underline the property's appeal.
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotless'. The consistent recognition of the property's tidiness by guests suggests a high standard of cleanliness is maintained.
The location is highly praised for being central and convenient, just steps away from local amenities and attractions. Its proximity to the quay and the ease of accessing walking paths and beaches contribute to its high rating.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds and bedding very comfortable. The cosy atmosphere of the cottage is also appreciated, although a few guests noted the beds are not king-sized, which may affect the comfort level for some.
The cottage is commended for being well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and for providing a comfortable stay. However, the lack of parking outside and the mention of a bright light outside a bedroom window suggest there is room for minor improvements.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the welcome treats and the provision of items such as a cot and high chair. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, although common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property

Featuring beams and a charming fireplace, this hideaway presents a wealth of character throughout. Located close to bustling Staithe Street, and Wells quay, there are numerous cafe's, fabulous restaurants, colourful boutiques, independent shops and local art galleries to discover.

We have lost count as to the number of times we have stayed in this beautiful, cosy and lovely cottage. It feels like home from home. The weather has been kind to us too. We meet friends here and have enjoyed spending time together chatting, eating and having the odd glass of wine!The meal in our last evening at Bang was excellent but busy so best to book.See you next year!
