Indeed a cosy studio. We enjoyed the comfy bed and special tea selection in particular. We could walk to and from Bar Midland for our special dinner (highly recommended by the way) which was ideal.

The property has character and covered all our essential needs. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was nice the assortment of teas and coffee available as well as muesli and milk provided for breakfast. A small but useful kitchen that included a kettle, toaster and micro wave unit was also included as was a split-system heater/cooler.

Disliked: Communication
The cottage was nicely fitted out, though rather minimal. Luxurious queen bed, but no couch or entertainment. I would have liked a hot plate and some outdoor seating. It was a little disconcerting not to meet or hear from the host, even though his dog was pattering around.

Loved it!

Cosy on a cold weekend. We walked into town for dinner and them had a very comfy night's sleep in the cottage. The beautiful garden is really peaceful and the impromptu garden tour was much appreciated.

Great Space for 1-2 Near Town Centre

We enjoyed our 2 nights, bed very comfy, extra homely touches like variety of tea leaves, home-ground coffee, fresh fruit, raisin bread etc. Very quiet area, a few train noises, but pretty birdsongs too!
