A wonderful cottage in a lovely location. Fantastic walking from the door. One of the best cottages we have stayed in ( and we have been to many )everything you need, and a lovely welcome basket .The cottage was spotless, and very warm, was great to use a Rayburn again for cooking, but there is also a good electric cooker. There is also plenty of parking and a beautiful garden. Would highly recommend. Will be back. Thank you.
