Lovely cottage
Stayed 2 nights in this lovely cottage. It has been recently refurbished and is very clean with a well equipped kitchen with new appliances.
The decor is lovely and the attention to detail is great. Good size bedroom with gorgeous comfy king size wooden ornate bed. There is also off road parking right outside the cottage. Highly recommend.
