Facilities at Dove Cottage are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and superb shower. However, a slight deduction is made due to a single comment about the lack of initial recycling information and the mismatched height of the kitchen table and chairs.

The cottage was clean, cosy and pleasantly decorated. It was easy to drop off luggage and there was plentiful 24 hour public parking at a very reasonable price, at several locations close by. I would happily return.

Very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed staying at Dove cottage. Very good location for walking around the town, if staying local. Or venturing further. The overnight parking was very close and only £4 a day. The owner was excellent to deal with. So just perfect for us.
