The penthouse was very spacious and comfortable. I can easily imagine living there. Nice big bathroom, two bedrooms - one with twin bed (kids really appreciated it). Huge living room with windows out to the little square. Lovely ambience. Nice kitchen with washing machine with dryer - it was a gift from heaven in the middle of our travels. The entire town was lovely, historical place. One supermarket was literally across the square from the flat, second about 2 minutes by walk. Parking is possible on the square under the windows and landlords provide a parking disc that gives you 2 hours free (it is paid only during the day, so 2 free hours are fine for overnight stay). The double bed was very narrow, even for british standard. The mattrace was even narrower then the bed itself and we did not sleep very well. Also the window leads to kind of main street and we were woken by traffic noise in the morning from open window. The twin beds were great and comfy (said our kids).

The little touches, toothbrush/toothpick/floss combo, basket of games, woodburner ready to light, snacks and selection of teas. Comfortable bed. Very little not to like, perhaps consider replacing the frying pan as base is bevelled but it still works.

It was very well-presented, centrally located and easy to find. Communication with the hosts was good. Parking was as advertised - not specific to the property, but free and on the street nearby. We liked everything

The annexe is done to a high standard. Very clean and welcoming offering complimentary toiletries, everything you need. Kelly was a very friendly and amenable host. We had a great night's sleep which is what we needed for our onward journey. Very accommodating with our dogs too. Secure garden too. We liked everything

The location was amazing, lovely village. The flat had everything we needed for a lovely stay Beds were comfy The kitchen was well equipped We absolutely loved the flat Just a few little things that might help. A socket near the mirror in the twin room. May a side table/ some drawers as well A bath mat, as the floor was slippy The tv was a little difficult to get on. Something on the feature wall in the twin room would be nice

Great little flat for our stopover, well presented, clean and good location. Fairly noisy location being in the market square and next to the clock which chimes every hour through the night too.
