"Set in a 1300s terraced cottage the owners provided their own parking spot for us around the back of property that was a little tricky to find but welcome because, the streets through town are narrow with restricted parking double yellow each side. The atmosphere was nostalgic and a bit quirky.. we stayed one night in a cosy bedroom with shower. Comfortable bed. Included a decent cooked breakfast in the downstairs dinning area on ground floor."
