A lovely cottage , with everything you need for a stay away from home . Only a few minutes walk to the centre of the village and lots of great walks right from the door. There are lots of nice place to eat in the village too. All in all a great place to stay and would recommend .

A lovely cottage in a great location. The cottage has everything you need for a great holiday. It was clean with comfortable beds and a quiet yard to enjoy the sun. Would benefit from a new sofa but wouldn't put me off going again.
