The cottage is lovely - right in the town centre but in a very very quiet location. The view of the river was fabulous. The accommodation is comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Obviously run by an owner that cares! Thank you for sharing your home.

Fisherbeck Cottage is delightful. We particularly liked its situation, both its proximity to shops, restaurants and bars but also to bus services.

This is a very comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a quiet, riverside location, but only 10-15 minutes walk to pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets.
