    “We had a lovely week’s stay at Charter’s cottage.”

    Would have given it a 5* rating for the “accuracy of the listing” but found the parking permit supplied, was for the public road outside the courtyard (we were under the impression parking was within the courtyard). It was difficult to say the least at times, to find somewhere to park within the ‘permit side’, or we had to keep moving the car after 2 hours on the “disc parking” side of the road. Other than this particular issue, the cottage was fabulous, best place we’ve ever ...

    Thank you for your feedback, it's good to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and your stay. Regarding parking, we're sorry that you had the impression it was available within the courtyard and have requested that the wording in the property description makes it clear that parking is on-road and that the courtyard is pedestrian access.
