Kathryn
Cottage was very comfortable and provided for all our needs. Only downside is the very steep hill to get up to it - on the plus side though you will be fitter by the time you go home (there is a slightly gentler but longer route if you come in at the other end of Binns Lane).

We really enjoyed our stay and lots of good restaurants and shops. The hill up was tough but if you cut through the park itâs easier

It is a beautifully designed cosy house in a lovely location. Everything we needed was provided and the extra touches like the scones left for us were very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend the property with the only word of caution being it is at the top of a very steep hill.
