We loved our stay at the boot, the only draw back is the lack of any garden area. We also couldn’t get the log fire to stay alight, and we have log burners at home and never had an issue. The heating was effective though and there were storage heaters to use when it got particularly cold. The list of bin days that was up was from 2025 so unfortunately didn’t know when the bin day was so didn’t manage to catch it. The Boot has plenty of character and charm, and it is ideally located so close to all amenities.

Great property and fantastic location, we had some issues with the hot water tap in the kitchen as it did not open and was unable to be fixed over the Xmas period, we also found dirty utensils, burnt pots and generally uncleanliness, we tried to use the hover however it was so full it did not work and there was no replacement bags to change out the full bag. We did however have a great time
