The living room and sofa bed worked well as a bedroom as the kitchen, dining room and courtyard are such a sociable space. We enjoyed Parkrun at The Old Showground, and felt very welcome in the local bars, cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed the wide range of produce and friendly service in the local coop. It’s an enjoyable walk along the river to Mells (with a good pint in the Talbot). ##### Michael W.
