Yvonne is really lovely, made us feel welcome even to the extent of providing a bottle of wine and some milk and tea bags for two wearied travellers with flight delays. Flat is well-kept and in good order. We did have a problem with the electrics tripping but Yvonne was great and pulled out all the stops to get it all up and running again - not such an easy feat over the Christmas period. I guess it's when things like that go wrong that the good landlords/landladies really show their mettle and Yvonne came up trumps! Hale village with a couple of small supermarkets plus some good restaurants and a large Costa Coffee is around 10 mins by foot.
