Lovely cottage, ideal location, I didn’t want to use my car when we got there but bus a few mins away and train over the road so perfect, could benefit from a bit of shade on the terrace as it was too hot to sit on the lovely seating a couple of days but otherwise we loved it 😊

The property was lovely - decorated and finished to a high standard. The owner was really helpful and on hand - even though we didn’t have any problems. The roof terrace was lovely to sit out on. We were a bit worried about staying in an apartment as we like a bit of outdoors space but honestly, don’t let that put you off. It was a beautiful property, super clean and well maintained. Would definitely go back there.
