Val
Most well equipped place we have stayed in, everything has been thought of. Thoughtful welcome gift which you don't always get. Would recommend to anyone. Few people have already said, the pictures do not do it justice, that is very true. Enjoyed out week there.

The cottage had everything you could need for a weeks holiday. It was really handy having a driveway to park the car, and there was plenty in the kitchen to self-cater when you don't want to go out. I'd definitely recommend staying at 2 James Street, a very good little find.

Loved the shower especially the non-slip floor to it. The log burner was superb. Loved the kitchen and bathroom and your decor is very tasteful. We spent a wonderful week at the cottage and it is a good base for getting around by car or public transport. Truly one of the best UK holidays Iâve ever had. Thank you Audrey Clarke
