The cottage is in a lovely location, well placed for all local amenities, whilst far enough away for peace and quiet. There are a couple of issues though. The stairs are located directly under a beam leaving only around 5ft of clearance as you go up and there is no Wifi. Wifi is not stated in the listing, but I didn't pick up on it. That's on me though :-)

Beautiful cottage, in a beautiful town. The cottage is by a church, so be aware that you'll hear the bells (not terribly loud, but occasionally, they went on for two hours at a time). It's still a very peaceful cottage and a great place to unplug (no cell service inside, and no wifi). All in all, I would definitely recommend as a spot to come and unwind. Easy to walk into the town for restaurants and groceries
