Cosy cottage in a great location.

Lovely characterful cottage ,very comfortable and nicely furnished. Well equipped kitchen. A few minutes walk from the village centre. Some road noise at night as the cottage is right on the road (we’re not talking about the M1 though!) Enjoyed the roof terrace although getting out and in was a little trick at times!
