------------------------ Lounge: comfy, seating for four, adequate lighting, decent telly ⦠however, if you want to catch up on ITV soaps you canât because the ITV App isnât available, nor is Four. Netflix and Prime are there, but if you want to view your favourite Apps bring your own streaming device - and if it needs power, bring a double adapter. Kitchen: very well appointed. If you need filter coffee, or a crockpot, or an air fryer, bring your own. Bathroom: a good shower with a choice of rainfall or handheld or both. Itâs fun finding out which way to turn the controls to get what you want.

There was nothing that we could fault. Clean, comfortable, and cosy. Well equipped, and beautifully furnished. Very quiet but only a couple of minutes walk to the Market Square or Co-op. A 5* stay, and will certainly return.
