Maybe secondary glazing in main bedroom for the noise of the bridge opening. Apart from that it was an excellent property.

So much so,that on our 3rd day of being there we booked up for next year. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was really clean. We couldnât believe how big it was inside. We loved the gardens. The view was absolutely gorgeous daytime and night. My granddaughter was so excited every day to see the bridge open and close. It was so close to every thing, practically on your doorstep ! Complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc was a lovely touch as was the roses. My granddaughter appreciated the kids toys etc. We accidentally locked ourself out , but the owner was on site in no time at all. Taught us a valuable lesson to always leave spare set in key safe. The only things we found that would be useful in the property is a draining rack. As thereâs not a lot of space to put washing up on. Also the top garden window ,one side has a pane of glass missing overlooking the courtyard below. Our granddaughter threw a ball out of this window for our dog and it worried me greatly as the dog could have jumped up trying to retrieve the ball, as could have our granddaughter. It just needs a piece of wood to cover it that side. But it hasnât put us off staying again. We are already missing being there and cannot wait to return. Thank you to the owners for making our holiday extra nice by providing such a lovely homely place to stay.
