We thing that a handrail on the steps to the bedroom could be helpful for more elderly people otherwise first class.

It was situated in a lovely area that was well equipped for local shops, and main links to travel further. I liked that there was a bath as well as a shower. The bed was really comfortable and there was ample storage throughout. There was off road safe parking outside cottage. This was a lovely cottage which I felt totally at home. The hosts were on hand for any queries but not intrusive. I would totally recommend this cottage and I would love to go back.
