My 50th birthday
Lovely property, fabulous location right in the centre. Lovely comfortable beds and all the facilities were perfect thank you
A really lovely house which was extremely clean. Be aware though that there are two storeys of quite steep, winding stairs and a lot of traffic noise as it is on a busy road and the house has single glazed wooden windows. Earplugs did the trick! There is a tiny outside space which currently houses a dustbin but would benefit from a small table and chairs for the warmer months.
