Property could do with some maintenance, The metal bath was rusty around plug hole due to dripping tap, bathroom window would not shut. Door to patio was not much more than hardboard & due to gaps between the 2 doors there was a draught, so cant imagine what it would be like in sept/october. Front door was difficult to unlock from the inside, lockRead more did not align with the keep. Master bedroom cluttered with 2 fold up beds & probably a foot stool which should have been in lounge. An old property but with a bit of attention could be more comfortable & maybe at least a pint of milk could be provided after a long journey Hide

Very comfortable, everything worked - no issues. Gas hob and electric oven, for me, is always a plus. Pretty garden to relax in and drink up the atmosphere of a special town.
