We saw peacocks on the lawn most mornings and the gentle church bells were enchanting. The location is close to the town centre which has so many shops, this high street is not dying, and its walking distance so no taxis back from a night out. The only thing to be aware of is it's close to a main road, which has traffic going past all night, the garden is fully enclosed, great for dogs, however it is shared between 3 cottages and the gate needs to be opened when other guests are entering or leaving, it goes straight to the main road, so checking before letting the dog out is necessary,. There are some lovely morning walks close by and the locals are also very friendly. I'd definitely recommended
