We recently stayed at Torrs cottage. The downstairs is absolutely delightful unlike many traditional cottages that can feel cramped, the downstairs layout is surprising spacious and full of character, its well proportioned and offered plenty of room to stretch out and relax after a full day's cycling however once you head upstairs into the bedrooms you have very little head room space because of the steep angled dormers in both bedrooms. The actual walkable space feels incredibly tight and requires alot of strategic ducking and a few bumped heads. Overall we had a lovely weeks holiday exploring the beautiful countryside.
