Beautiful cottage, with everything we needed. Sadly town was deserted with not a lot open. Cottage is quite isolated from other areas. A lovely riverside walk near the cottage which was a lifesaver for our dogs.

The cottage was lovely, had everything you need. The fire was a bonus and the whole cottage was so toasty. The only slight downside for us was that the Italian restaurant was closed but it didn’t spoil our stay.
