The well-stocked kitchen and quality furnishings are well-received. However, there are suggestions for improvement, such as refurbishing the bathroom en-suite. The garden and park views are notable positives.

We had a fantastic weeks stay in the upside down house. The six bells pub had a fabulous menu and we ate there three times! Bonus was it was only a five minute walk from the house. The house was perfect for us and were able to just chill.
