Cosy stay
Lovely, clean home in a quiet street close to town centre. All necessities provided, very comfortable furnishings and lovely outdoor seating area. Very cosy and comfortable bedding. A nice touch to arrive to a heated home on a cool winter afternoon. Check in time was a little too late at 4pm though.
