Lovely cottage with pet friendly garden. Perfect situation in the village. Lots of walks on the doorstep. The only issue was trying to find a parking space nearby.

Lovely cottage in an excellent position. Good facilities and comfortable beds. The stairs could prove challenging for anyone unsteady on their feet as quite steep. Otherwise it is perfect for couples and family's.
