Hello,This property was lovely and comfortable, ideal for a family on holiday in the area. The bedroom were very nice, cosy lounge and dining area. Practical kitchen and bathroom. However, the parking was very difficult. We didn't realise the parking space was so small and in the end we parked along the side of the house (normally not allowed). On street parking was very difficult to find. So overall great, but if could be allowed to park alongside the house, even better ! Thanks for a great stay !

We had a wonderful stay at cornerstone a week ago. The host made sure everything we needed was there. Furnishings and cleanliness second to none. Sadly we had a rather mixed week of weather but found the heating worked well during some ferocious winds. Bathroom and shower very good. Bed was extremely comfortable. Parking was a little tricky but free - neighbours very pleasant. The location was excellent. Visited all the attractions. Local shops within couple of miles. Whilst staying I played bingo at the community club a few yards away and even found time to visit a nearby hairdresser. Internet was superb. We cooked most of our meals and found the entire holiday very relaxing. Doggie made himself at home (;we brought his bed)We can fully recommend cornerstone and hope to return in the future.

Cleanliness was terrible. Mould in bathroom , mould behind sofo. Hairs all over the place. Hairs in bed. Horrible smell in house. Toaster rusty. Took bin bag out to put rubbish in bin and the inside bin was filthy. Parking terrible if you have big car.
