Great little cottage. Very well equipped with lots of extras like a welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk, cake and even a bottle of wine! Location is excellent. Tucked away in a Mews just off the high street. Everything is in easy, level walking distance.An interesting indoor market operates most days of the week with a different theme for each day of the week. Tuesday is most popular and is the largest.Free parking is available at the lower car park (excluding Tuesdays).We have stayed at the cottage 5 times now and will certainly be back next year.

It was a great central location to the town and countryside around. The cottage very warm, quiet and comfortable, plenty of kitchen equipment if required. Great pub and Gurkha resturant less than two minute walk away. Obviously we were aware of no parking on sight, this was not a problem, spaces and free over night car parks.
