A lovely cottage with everything you could need, set in a peaceful village. Ideally situated to see local attractions. The only hiccup we encountered was the shower. Trying to regulate a steady temperature was impossible, started at a comfortable temperature and then changed between cold and too hot and as the owner was unable to provide a solution, shower time was short.
