We spent 4 nights at Clarksville, just two of us, it was spacious and there was always parking available right outside or opposite in the square. The house was very warm and we turned down the thermostat to try to cool it down a little.The bed was very comfortable, bed linen and towels were beautiful, brand new I think. The kitchen was very well equipped , we cooked there 3 nights and ate out at Royal Spice on the last evening (excellent).Lots of steps on each level, but if you’re agile that’s ok.Improvements I would suggest would be:A tray for the kitchen.Curtain over the front door for winter.Replace the carpet with a wooden floor in the hallway, like the beautiful living room floor, a hand rail in the hallway might also help or a brighter light?Overall we loved it and would recommend it to dog owners holidaying with their pooches.

Clarksville is so close to all amenities two minute walk to the shops. If you have a dog, there’s lovely walks to the shawl,and thro to thornborough hall. Nice outside space.. been many times to Clarksville. Would recommend to anyone. The stairs are very steep and quite a few indoor between lounges and kitchen. So mind your step.
