An enjoyable stay despite the difficulty of finding anywhere to park.
It was convenient for our purposes. Probably v cosy in the winter. Plenty of hanging space. Clean and sensibly organised kitchen. V comfortable lounge.
Although comfortable overall, there are a number of points worth noting: Parking is VERY difficult. The steps down into to the upstairs bathroom are tricky and potentially dangerous without any grab-handle. The height of the bathroom sinks and mirrors are v inconvenient if you happen to be more than 4’ but less than 5’ 7” tall. The pervasive smell of drains /dampness in the downstairs bathroom was a bit off- putting. Failure to provide a tea towel (glasses didn’t fit in the dishwasher) or kitchen towel seemed penny-pinching. Couldn’t see the point of two double beds in the same room when that meant there was inadequate space each side- just one v small impractical table squeezed between the two. It is a v dark cottage (inevitable for its age and location) therefore electric lights were needed at all times. Finally, we felt the beds had been made very sloppily and the stairs had either not been vacuumed or vacuumed perfunctorily.

Lovely cosy, modern central cottage with everything you could need
The cottage was modern, well decorated and nicely furnished, plenty of room and added bonus of a downstairs shower room as well as main bathroom. Everything you need for a short break away Very central for the town within a 2 minute walk
The BT TV service kept flashing on and off so was impossible to watch terrestrial TV, but only a problem once home on an evening. Cottage is very dark with the dark paintwork and thick voil so needed the lights on all the time - left the bathroom light on at night as even the carpet was black so was afraid we would fall downstairs in the night 😀
