  • Neil

    Nicely situated property with parking on the street, and usually got a space outside the front door. Only disadvantage was that any walks for the dog, from the property had to be on the lead, due to roads or local restrictions, but there where nice off the lead within 2 miles. Would recommend the cottage to others.

  • Kim
