You’ll also find pubs, shops, and restaurants within walking distance. The home was recently renovated but it was built in 1850 with its original staircase still intact – expect steep, narrow steps and a tight turn on the staircase. We think all six guests can stay here comfortably, although bear in mind that the third bedroom is a bit of a squeeze. And it’s worth noting that the main bathroom is on the ground floor and all three bedrooms are upstairs. *Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you during your stay.*Your host provides a free parking permit for one vehicle. Parking is available on the street and on nearby streets.*This cottage was built in 1850, but it was completely renovated recently. However, it does have the original staircase.
