Home truths
You'll have one allocated parking space, a one-minute walk from the cottage – but you'll need to send your registration plate at least 48 hours before arrival so your host can register it with parking control. If you're arriving in a larger vehicle, note that the space is on the tighter side. The parking space isn't available for last-minute bookings, as you'll need at least two days' notice.
This is a town-centre cottage, so you can expect some ambient noise from the surrounding streets – especially at weekends.
If you're planning to use the barbecue, you'll need to bring your own wood, charcoal, firelighters, and matches – these aren't provided.
Please note that the coffee machine is a Nespresso Vertuo. If you'd like to use it during your stay, we recommend ordering Vertuo-compatible pods online, as they are not always available in local shops.
