The beds and bedding are super comfy, and great quality. The location is brilliant for walking into town and enjoying numerous places to eat and drink, there is also a plethora of walks right from the door. The road outside is quite noisy if you are not used to traffic noise, but otherwise, given its town location, itâs very quiet with regards people noise. This would not put me off returning, and should I be looking to stay in this area again, I would not hesitate to book Swan Cottage

Extremely comfortable. The traffic noise which so many previous guests have mentioned did not bother us at all.
