Beautiful cottage in beautiful location
Beautiful cottage in beautiful location. Very tastefully decorated in keeping with a cottage. Loved the rabbit picture above the wood burner & I’m trying to source a copy!! Short distance from all other places we wanted to visit. My only criticism is that the garden could have done with a bit of TLC, but apart from that it was lovely.
