Lovely little cottage hidden away down a ginnel. Compact sitting area to rear of property with table and chairs. One upstairs room is used for your clothes storage with plenty of hanging space. Cosy front room with well stocked kitchen. Good communication with the host. Ideal location for shopping in town, eateries, pubs and sightseeing.
