Thistlebank Townhouse

Nathan was very helpful when checking in, made us feel at home. I stayed with my 6 year old daughter for a 2 day trip during half term. A place with parking so close to the town centre was great, very handy. Huge rooms, with everything you need.

Was a great place to stay will definitely be booking again

A large period property in a good location. Finding the street you need to get to the car park isn't straight-forward and it would have been far better if directions had been provided in advance. We were in one of the attic rooms, which meant quite a few steep stairs but that was fine & the room had an excellent view of the Abbey. The room itself was lacking - there were only 4 coat-hangers, the cold tap in the bathroom didn't work at all, and the shower mixer wasn't easy to work either. The room had a flat TV but the TV wasn't connected to the Wi-Fi & therefore SMART options were not available. The pillows were poor, and the sofa had seen much better days too. The property had a strong smell of weed which isn't what anyone would expect to encounter. Alas, for all the above reasons, and despite the good location, this isn't somewhere we would stay again.

The place was great, the house is lovely and the rooms are very spacious. The owner was on hand to help out where needed, showed us around and where everything was (a separate room with a fridge if you needed it). There are a few spaces for parking at the back which is very convenient. It's a few minutes walk to the centre and there is plenty to do. Would definitely recommend

The location and having car parking is really good. The house has a lot of history and is really quirky. Lots of space - in both the house, our bedroom and the bathroom. There were a few little missing touches that would have made our stay even better: - although there is a cupboard and large set of drawers for clothes there were no coat hangers - there was nowhere to hang the hand towels in the bathroom. We had to just place them on the window sill - there is a small common room with 4 table top fridges and facilities for guests to make breakfast etc. We assumed that the fridges were allocated individually for each bedroom but this was not clear and there was already milk / food in all the fridges. It would be better if the fridges were numbered / identified and clearly allocated to individual rooms - there was no guest information in the bedroom so we had to make assumptions - the accommodation does have wifi but we didn’t find the login details till we were leaving. The details are in the lobby / hallway but the host did not tell us that
