Home truths
There's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here, however the living room and kitchen are on the first floor and accessed by stairs, so it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
The owner of this home lives on the property in a separate semi-detached house. The wider garden is shared, however you'll have access to a small private patio during your stay.
Although there are shops and restaurants within walking distance here, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available and there's also an electric vehicle charger.
