Cottage was full of character, very comfortable and well equipped.
Cottage was full of character, very comfortable and well equipped. Ideally situated close to shops, restaurants, takeaways, bus station and railway. Lots to see, places to visit. Had a great time.Will definately return.
It was my husband and our two friends staying a few nights after the London marathon. We loved the cottage and wish we had more time to stay and use the cottage more. We spent a lot of time on the lakes and in town but it was a great place to come home to for a good nights sleep. It was tough driving into the drive mostly because there was uncontrolled road work but it was a little tight and good thing it was just us because if there were 3 other cars it would be hard to maneuver. We loved it and would recommend!
