We had a great stay for our weekend in Cromwell. Lovely hosts, clean units with plenty of space for our toddler to run around. Just across the road from shops and walking distance to parks.
Thanks so much

A larger TV and a coffee table for tea/coffee would be something to consider. Just suggestions as it was excellent and we would definitely stay again. Lovely large rooms, very comfy bed, clean, etc.
Simple clean and safe. The room was not fancy but well appointed and clean.
