This was my 3rd stay at this venue.Positives- parking space, alot of other rentals in the area have no parking, fully enclosed garden for my dog, location (both to the town shops and getting out & about), good value for money.Negatives- cleaning was abit iffy this time, the bed is very hard and I have to take my own mirror for doing hair/face each day due to extremely odd mirror placements

A lovely little cottage in a very convenient location. Easy to find, clean and well equipped. Was perfect for the 4 of us and our golden retriever. Would happily stay here again.
