The room was very nicely decorated and furnished and perfectly clean and airy. The en suite was also very comfortable, clean, and well-designed. Being at the back of the house, it was very quiet, and the bed comfortable. Arrangements for accessing the property were flawless and the host was very responsive to questions. The property is also conveniently close to a 24-hour petrol station with a shop and to a couple of cafes (though I didn't have time to visit either of those), and very close to Manor Road railway station.

It wasn't a major issue for me at all, but I don't think I would call this a cottage or annex - it is a self-contained en suite bedroom within the structure of a semi-detached house. There was a plug-in cool box in the room, but does that really count as a refrigerator? And although the provision of a kettle, toaster, tea cups, plates, bowls and cutlery was very helpful, I'm not sure that that can be described as a kitchenette. For me, none of this was of great importance but it might be relevant to other potential visitors if they are expecting the use of a kitchenette.
