Quirky Cottage

The property was very clean and warm. We very much appreciated the off street parking and loved the bird life in the small front garden. This quirky cottage is probably best suited to a couple (who sleep in the same bed) only. There is a large, comfortable bed and plenty of wardrobe space. There are two very comfortable chairs in the small sunroom to sit and lounge or read in. The kitchen is rudimentary though perfectly adequate for a stay of a few days, it had everything we needed. The bathroom is small but nicely put together. We enjoyed our stay and will return.
