Clean cottage walking distance to town

This property did not disappoint. Walking distance to the main street with shopping and restaurants, yet quiet location and clean surroundings. The furnishings were simple yet interesting, with white walls and natural wood floors. Adequate kitchen and private outdoor space. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
