What a lovely find! The cottage was fabulous, very cosy with a lovely log burner. The well equipped kitchen had everything you needed, a very comfortable bed and walk in shower.

I cannot recommend this property more! This was THE sweetest little cottage in a perfect central location and fully equipped with everything you could need. The log burner was a favourite feature and we particularly loved the attention to detail by the owner, with books/ maps for local walks and recommendations to visit nearby businesses. The kitchRead moreen was well equipped and rear garden for dog was fab! A lovely find and support for a small town and local businesses. We would 100% stay here again! Hide

Such a gem of a place, location is 5 mins from town in one direction and the canal in the other, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. 2 supermarkets in easy distance. The cottage itself was peaceful and cosy, very clean and comfortable and well stocked and laid out kitchen. The host had thought of everything, cant wait to come back!
