A lovely cottage with fantastic views, and all the home comforts you could wish for.The stairs are very steep and the headroom is limited upstairs in the bedrooms, but the owners have covered most bases. The toilet seat and the bathroom taps need some attention but overall the cottage is comfortable, warm and well decorated.
