It was close to town but still felt really private. Loved the whole vibe of the place with the overgown cottage garden and beautiful brick arch as you enter. Everything inside was clean and well presented.

Nice quaint little bungalow in a quiet street. Had everything we needed for a 1 night stay and was close to the town centre. Lack of television didn't bother us in the slightest! - It was nice to have some quiet after a long day. We didnt meet the owners, but the little dog was super cute. Would stay again.

The property has oodles of character and history. The garden offers a rambling sanctuary. A very comfortable bed provided us exactly what we needed for the stay.
