Traditional cottage in historic trinity

Traditional cottage in historic trinity

8/10 Good
"The Trinity Cottage was a really charming place to stay the night - lots of space, was incredibly clean and well maintained, and really nice location and views of the town. It is a bit rustic given it is a cottage and we can only imagine how charming it is in the winter time with the beautiful wood firecplace - it's a wonderful place to stay. Finding it by car is a bit confusing but the owner provided lots of descriptive instructions that really helped. Both the owner and the host were very nice and easy to deal with - good communicaiton. Thank you for having us!!"
