It's a great house. Has everything you need. Host keeps updates regular and contact number there should you need it. Would definitely use again as a base when in the area.

The Ships Bell is a beautiful cottage that is full of character. I really loved the kitchen and the smell of the old stone wall. It was really well equipped. the beds were very comfortable and the two bathrooms were lovely. The Ships bell is a very short walk to the harbour and you can see the river from the bedroom window. The only small negative is that there is no parking in the old part of the village. You can stop for a short time to unload, but it can be difficult to get a space. My advice is to pack sensibly, so you can load and unload the car quickly! I would definitely stay again :)
