Good Location. Easy to find.

Found it difficult to cook food like pasta, so had Oat Bars and tea instead. Big television but it didn't work. I have the same problem with my new TV.

Quaint cottage and great location. Cleanliness could have been better and a few things needed updating, some furnishings and fixtures were a bit tired. Overall a nice stay.
