A great cottage decorated with period accessories but with a modern en-suite bathroom . Ideally located for pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Very handy welcome pack and a very comfortable bed. Ideally located to enjoy the pleasures of Floors castle, local pubs and many walks mentioned in the information pack in the cottage.
