Lovely cottage to spend our time in, wish we had a bit longer to stay and enjoy it more. Very cosy, lovely gardens that our dog loved sniffing around, and an easy walk into town.

This is an absolute gem! Beautifully clean, lots of thoughtful touches, and the perfect size and location for a getaway for two. It's only a few minutes' walk from the main street, and we loved the garden surrounding too. (So many birds!) Highly recommended.
