Lovely cosy cottage in a quieter street of the Bay which is nice, the garden room and outside space are an added bonus, especially if you have a dog with you, the living flame gas fire is lovely, and the beds are comfy. Not suitable unless you are fully mobile as it has the winding staircase typical of many traditional bay cottages

A nice cottage in great location. Kitchen well equipped. Garden room was handy to have but not particularly easy to get around with such a large table in. Would be nice to have some soft seating in there.

A beautiful old cottage in a great position The garden is a suntrap, we had a happy afternoon chatting outside drinking prossecco, and the garden room is a lovely place to eat, when its too cold to stay outside. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds are super comfy. The village shop is close and really well stocked. I'd love to stay heRead morere again Hide
