Absolutely lovely stay at Margaret’s house. Dennis the dog was an absolute hit. It is a 30mins walk to the Mercury along a straight road, but the dott bikes are very handy (around £4) Margaret is a lovely host very respectful of unsociable working hours but also up for a chat when you want to. I will no doubt be booking again.
