Owner Vanessa is lovely and easily contacted if needed. Was well equipped for most needs, some tea plates would be a good addition plus some coasters for drinks to protect the lovely furniture. Instructions for use of appliances would be good too. Will happily return to the Old Print House if we are in the area again.

We struggled to get the TV working and the WiFi kept dropping out, but that wasn't an issue as we weren't there for that. Plenty of parking and we had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, which was really nice. We were there for a mini break before a family event, lots of nice family walks a short drive away. Kitchen is well stocked and very clean, thanks for having us.

The apartment is furnished and decorated beautifully, comfortable and clean. We didnât cook on our short stay but the kitchen appeared to be adequately equipped if we had wished to do so. We used the bistro below for our evening meals and the food was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The owner, Vanessa is a lovely lady and very welcoming and accommodating, so are the staff in the bistro. Over the years have done a lot of cottage holidays but only a handful would I rebook and this one is definitely up there and hoping to return in the not too distant future.
