Well situated for lots of places to visit.Having the garden area to use was a bonus, and being able to eat under the trees each evening was great.The kitchen was very well equipped, but the cottage seemed rather cramped. With only two of us we could put our bags, spare bedding etc in the other bedroom, but don't know how we would have managed otherwise.
