The cottage and the surrounding dwellings are built from local stone which is very attractive. The cottage itself is full of character and decorated tastefully. It is spacious and contains everything one needs. The little courtyard garden is a very pleasant place to sit in and enjoy an evening drink. One is able to walk from the cottage into the town.
