Super cottage, so conveniently located and beautifully cared for. We used the outside space even though it wasnt fantastically warm - we still barbecued and sat in the sun trap garden a few times. Must be super in the summer. Gorgeous bathrooms much appreciated.

This cottage is super central. Once you arrive you wont need your car again until you pack up to go home. It is well equipped with the addition of an outside kitchen and separate tv room/gym at the rear. The stairs are very steep but fine for us. I wouldnt recommend for young children or those with mobility issues. It really is gorgeous and weRead moreve already booked to stay again (best accolade one can give) Hide
