The brewery was right across the street but we heard absolutely no noise from them whatsoever. The farmers market is a very short walk down the main road, and there's a supermarket nearby in case you need anything. You've also got multiple great dining options within easy walking distance. Be sure to check out Goose Bakery! ##### David S. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mel 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A beautifully set up unit - great for 2 people, we had 3 of us and it was a little awkward - we made it work, but wouldn't recommend for more than 1 night with more than 2 people. Great amenities provided, decent sized fridge, coffee machine and milk frother etc, but if you're a foodie and thinking of doing lots of cooking you probably want to bring some extra things (sharp knives, pots, oven trays...). Overall we loved it. ##### Mel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike M. 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brilliant location and Amazing stay This was a great place to stay in At ##### Mike M.
