“A lovely clean place to stay with everything you need.”
The market opposite was good, as was the little Broadstone Cafe on the corner of Broadstone and Foss St. Only a short walk down the road to the River front and transport on Boats, Trains and Buses available The parking is okay if you have a mini or something of a very similar size as very tight and many attempts to get in and out with a larger car. I suggest parking on the street outside No7 if you can (we weren't able to as another car was permanently parked there). It doesn't mention anything about parking in the Market carpark which is free but to our Surprise got a parking ticket £70 or £35 if you pay within 28 day's. No mention that you need a parking permit. It would nice to be given an option of a parking permit to use in this carpark.
Faults found on arrival.
Bath panel was cracked
Shower curtain needs to be renewed as very old and has evidence of mould spots.
Basin plug chain broken.
Blind slat in Front bedroom is broken it has been snapped.
Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay and would stay here again.
Hi Susan, Thank you for bringing the faults to our attention. We really appreciate you taking the time. We have sent a replacement shower curtain to the agents to replace on next day delivery. We are visiting ourselves next week, so will look into the other concerns.
We did look into a parking permit for guests. Unfortunately it covers the Mayors Car Park, not the one in the Market Square. Also it is no guarantee of a space, especially in busy times.
The Market Square car park is free and unlimited on days there isn’t a market on. On those days the CP needs to be clear between 6am & 9am for market traders to park. I’m sorry you were caught out by it, it is on the signs but not awfully clear. Hopefully future guests will read this and not get caught out. I’ll look into a note in the cottage suggesting guests check the parking sign. As you say, the on street parking in the Market Square is free and unlimited. Hopefully you will stay again. Kind regards, Sally
