We absolutely love it! Perfect location, the property is in the middle of the town with shops, cafes and pubs all in abundance. Itâs a modern, clean and comfortable place to stay with the most amazing views from the double aspect windows. If this property came on the market I would consider buying it, itâs so perfect!

Cottage was very clean and you have everything anyone could want including picnic baskets. Welcomed opening the windows and watching everyone going up and down the Abbey steps.. we were lucky with the weather also. We had a fabulous time and will definitely return.

The super king sized bed was really comfy and the bedding was very luxurious, we slept really well! The cottage felt spacious and very close. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to put a door mat in place as there was nowhere to wipe your feet upon arrival, not ideal when itâs been raining all week! I would highly recommend this cottage if you want to explore the area, itâs a 5 minute walk from both the bus and train station and transport to all the local towns and villages is very regular and on time!
