Great little find. Small cottage but as described. My husband and son are tall, so they had to be careful when using the stairs, due to low ceilings but a lovely property and garden. Small Tescos and One Stopat the end of the road (2 min walk) Takeaways within 15 mins walk (fish & chips, Chinese, Indian...) Found a lovely forest walk around 10 mons drive away and the coast was also only 10 mins drive. Would be totally happy to stay again.
