Ben's house is in a super location, with everything we needed nearby. We used the launderette and local shop across the road, enjoyed excellent breakfasts in the Canal Bank cafe and a lovely evening meal in Farm - and enjoyed a couple of drinks in one of the local pubs...! After finding parking opposite, we didn't need our car again because we could walk everywhere we wanted to go - the centre of town is so close! And walking along the canal bank was very pleasant. The house itself manages to be quite private, even though it's on a busy road, and the bedroom and bathroom were perfectly located, out of the way on the upper floor. The bedroom is lovely and spacious, with a comfortable bed, a useful little fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. There were some other nice touches and a good information folder. We didn't meet Ben, but briefly met Sally who's charming.
