Nice comfortable cottage. Everything is there that you could possibly need, Two pubs within walking distance, one of which sells food. Plenty of places to visit. The only minus is that the apartment upstairs is not soundproofed. Whilst we were there a herd of elephants occupied it and kept us awake in the night and early hours.
