This cottage is lovely. Really tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The beds are really comfortable. The log burner and aga made the cottage cosy and both were easy to use. The parking area is big enough for a couple of cars and the cottage is easy to find. The cottage is well equipt and a good base for all the local areas.
