This is a delightful apartment in a lovely cottage It feels like a proper home, decorated by someone with an eye for detail and a flair for homely interior design. Lots of small but very well thought through useful details, like the movement sensitive lighting through the kitchen to direct you to the bathroom in the night. Everything we needed for our overnight stay was provided. The beds were big and comfortable, lovely sitting areas inside and out and an attractive front garden. It was easy to find and there was no problem with parking. We would have enjoyed staying longer if our schedule had allowed. The owner was easy to contact and very helpful.

It was a quiet location. The hosts were very kind and polite. The environment was useful for an overnight stay. It was easy to access. I really Really appreciated the extension plug that had USB outlets for charging devices!! I had an adapter for plugs, but I'm sure most people have USB devices more than plugs anymore.

    Bedroom was beautifully decorated and a pleasure to stay in, it could not be faulted. But the only Bathroom/Shower was upstairs up 2 flights of stairs, impossible for anyone with a disability or aged. This Bathroom- Shower - Toilet was the only working Toilet in the Premises available to Guests - as the Toilet only Room off the Kitchen-Laundry was blocked if anyone did a poo in it - it then had to be unblocked by filling up a bucket in the Kitchen & forcing the mess down the Toilet !!!!!!.
