The layout of rooms were slightly unconventional over 3 floors, but once settled in we managed well. Entering the property at street level leading into lounge and bedroom, moving downstairs to kitchen with access to garden and main bathroom. Back up stairs to lounge then another flight of stairs is 2 bedrooms with slightly smaller bedroom having a small en-suite, all beds were comfortable. Location was very good, train station was a few minutes walk away if needed and supermarkets/shops and pubs less than 10 minutes walk. Had some good beers and food at The Brew Shed pub. Did have some issues contacting host using Vrbo but host gave personal contact number after this and was quick to respond.We would stay again if in the area needing a short break. ##### Shaun N.
