We hebben een erg leuk verblijf van 3 nachten achter de rug. Voor een verblijf van deze duur is het huisje echt prima en heel gezellig! Wel is het goed om te weten dat het huisje aan de compacte kant is voor vier personen. Lange mensen moeten hier en daar een beetje oppassen met de hoogte. Vooral in de slaapkamer met het tweepersoonsbed is de ruimte wat beperkt. Er staat nu zowel een hangkast als een ladekast. Als een van deze twee meubels wordt weggehaald, ontstaat er precies genoeg ruimte om comfortabel je koffer neer te zetten (die past nu helaas niet op de kamer en bleef in de woonkamer). De bank is toe aan vervanging. Daarnaast vonden we het jammer dat er geen koffie en thee aanwezig waren bij aankomst. Al met al hebben we het erg leuk gehad. Met een paar kleine aanpassingen zou het verblijf nóg comfortabeler zijn!

Nice little place but it is quite small. I was on my own so it was fine but it might be difficult for a family for a week. Bathroom is tiny, with a toilet right next to the sink cabinet, awkward. Shower tends to cover floor in water. Need to redesign the glass shower wall. Surprised and disappointed at the lack of little touches such as no coffee, tea, sugar, milk etc. It doesn’t take much to make it seem luxurious. For the price, I expected a bit more. They itemise what you get: three dishwasher tablets, two toilet rolls …… all a bit tight. The washing up liquid had 1cm of liquid in it. Gives the impression of penny pinching. The door to the outhouse was rotten at the bottom. The second lock on the front door was impossible. I think a few more touches would make this place better. But, it’s quite small.

Great Central location within easy reach of shops, pubs + restaurants. Lord Nelson pub 100 yards down the road can be lively, and the nearby 30-min only parking is highly competed for. Tidy + very responsive hot water; well-planned kitchen.
