This property no longer has any parking nearby we arrived to find out car park at the back is being built on when we made contact with caretaker was told to park on Tesco or Spar but weâre informed by locals that car would be clamped We had to park away from the property cross the main road with suitcases and bags on arrival and departing we would not have booked the property had we known this otherwise a lovely house in a great location

Slight niggles that could be easily fixed that would make it better - only 4 prosecco glasses available and lack of dishes for using when cooking. For example we made a salad and had to serve it in the colander! Also you should be aware that the dishwasher isn't working very well - we used it twice but had to re-wash most of the pots.

The carpark is towards the back of the property which wasnât clear on the listing, but accessible via the back steps or a one minute walk around the corner. We never struggled to park. We had to contact the owner about an issue with the TV and he offered to come over within half an hour (as it happened we realised the leads were mixed up at the back so we sorted it⦠the previous occupant likely did this ) but he still popped over and even brought us a fire stick so that we could log into our Netflix account which was lovely. The road wasnât an issue for us as everyone managed to sleep fine and the road location is reflected in the price. I wasnât keen on the bins being located at the entrance for the entire stay but perhaps this is the only option. The area behind the property (accessible via the kitchen) is communal as other properties need to use it to access the carpark but it isnât a useable space anyway; you have the first floor outside area for that. I only saw someone use the communal area once so we felt totally private and the house felt secure. Great to have a cafe and shops so close by too! There were a couple of things missing from the kitchen; measuring jug, baking trays and a slotted spoon. Nothing major I just would have liked to have these things. I mentioned a couple of maintenance points to the owner after our stay as the shower screen and bath plug control need screwing back into position as they are loose but Iâm sure they will be fixed by now as he wouldnât have been aware. There is also a lovely new sofa which is different from the photo! Itâs a lovely family cottage and Iâd highly recommend it.
