About the host
Hosted by Lindsay Hutton
Hi, my name is Lindsay and I personally look after my cottage. Whenever possible I will always meet you to check in and out, and be available for questions or advice. I live a 5 minute drive away from the property, so appreciate good contact in order to co-ordinate your arrival and check in.
Why they chose this property
An absolutely perfect city centre location. 3 local car parks within very close proximity, one being directly opposite the cottage with free parking overnight. There is also nearby street parking which is free between 6.00 pm and 9.00 am and all day Sundays. The closest being "Linden Grove" next to the river located opposite the Bishops Finger Pub around the corner.
At the top of St Dunstan's about a 10 minute away you will also find free Street parking in Forty Acres Road, Nursery walk, and many of the roads off the main street.
We can also accommodate limited free parking at one of our other properties
"15 minute walk away" for guests booking for a longer stay (3 days or more).
