The cottage was cosy, clean and the kitchen was well catered for. You have lovely views of the canal from the living room and front bedroom. Mike & Vicky have done a great job with the cottage to make it home from home. The White lion a 2 min walk from the cottage was a great village pub very welcoming and good traditional pub grub at good prices. The question is will we go back to Canalside? A big yes!! Thanks for a wonderful stay Mike & Vicky.

We enjoyed and do not want to be picky but suggest the pillows and beds would benefit from being top quality. Most people only sleep in a holiday property so good quality pillows and longer beds with good mattresses are lovely whereas these beds are functional quick changeover ones. We were surprised how short they were? We are all long and have normal 6ft.6in beds. These were not and most people are getting bigger! Better information on the waste and bin collection is needed because we did not want to wheel a huge cumbersome bin down the steps for less than a third of a black bin liner! As it is the cleaner advised the father of the owner would take the refuse bag, as normal, but we felt we had not done what we should but we are hale and hearty - no older person could have done the bins so just kindly tell users that a black bag at the bottom of the steps is fine!
