Went done for a guys weekend
The cottage we had was very nice, great for 8 grown men on a weekend getaway, as well for a full family. Very little yard but we didn’t hang around the property much. Perfect location to enjoy a few and walk to any eatery or pub. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful. Parking is perfect for two vehicle but if a late comer to group needs a parking spot a bit of a challenge but not a deal breaker.
