Love the area. Kitchen well equipped athough would have liked a dishwasher for the amount we paid. Fridge very small. The Butchers shop underneath flat very noisy from 5.30a.m ( not their fault they are running a business) but you get woken up on business days early.

Just remember that the flat IS above a shop, and the staff do greet each other enthusiastically very early in the morning! (The owners of the flat don't try to hide this fact, the photos make this very clear.) The flat itself was comfortable and had plenty of space. In the town we ate at the Olde Ship Inn and the Italian restaurant. Both very good. Fish and chips from the smallest fish and chip shop also good. Warm welcome from the Methodist Church at the Sunday service.
