This charming market town boasts an antique castle that is available to the public, a stunning mediaeval parish church, and a colourful market that fills the cobblestone setts on either side of the high street. It has much to offer the eager tourist.

. location excellent. Off street parking was a bonus. Older people might find the spiral staircase a little tricky as the bedroom and toilet are on different levels. Would have liked more coat hangers due to lack of any drawer space. Otherwise, a great stay.

Spacious living area, and nice view of the canal. Parking space was fine to share with another car.

The apartment is light and airy and the open plan area is spacious. Very clean with nice décor, we'd definitely stay there again.
