Double bed. wardrobe with loads of hanging space. Other pegs around for coats 'n' 'ats. Towels & bed linen provided. More if needed. Accommodation payable on arrival.
Guest Parking
There is off road parking behind gates, if more than 1 space is needed there is permit parking £1.50 a day. Most people just leave the car parked for the duration of their stay. There's no free parking in town centre.There's no point taking the car into town, unless you've got a blue badge, even that's tight, or you're going out of town, eg The Bacon Theatre. There is an outside electric point, not a fast charge for cars, specifically, but it can be taken off the mains socket for charging, as a pre arranged additional costed facility. I'm waiting to get one installed by my energy provider, watch this space.

Everyman Theatre is 15 mins walk away, 15 from train the station, 10 from buses. 5 from 'take away alley', The town hall is 15. Stone's throw from a large supermarket, open til midnight, another one 5 away towards town. Yes, there are some eateries and drinkeries from 5 to 20 away. I've tried most of them!

The Host states that their property supports accessibility
There is access and there's access. There is step free access to the property which can be done though various doors, but the pavement outside is rubbish. If you need to hire any equipment this can be arranged. The room was previously occupied by a wheelchair user, although there are now no grab rails, so it's more suited to someone with limited walking ability or has difficulty using stairs. Speak to me about any access needs.
This property does not offer a child-friendly environment

Louisa has been such a lovely host. Warm, kind, welcoming, and always thoughtful. It’s been a real pleasure getting to know her, and she made me feel completely at home throughout my stay. I’d happily stay again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and caring host.
