Had a wonderful stay at Dillon Cottage in a beautiful street full of history. The access to the city centre was perfect and we could easily walk into town, come home for a cup of tea and rest, then walk back for dinner later. Thank you Jeanette for your easy and prompt communication. The cottage is highly recommended.

Close to many restaurants and takeaways in walking distance. Lovely historic street with friendly neighbours and a couple of cute cats. Comfy beds and couch. Well equipped kitchen, washing machine and clothes line. A home away from home and great to be in a cottage instead of a hotel room. We loved it!
