Guests find the cottage cosy, comfortable, and homely, with particular mention of comfy beds, a warm atmosphere, and a great shower. A few noted steep stairs and, in one review, slightly tired mattresses, but these were minor compared to the overall comfort.

3 Nights. Great location and ideal for relaxing, watching the world go by from the front patio. Tip, take toilet paper with you. It is not provided and may prove to be an inconvenience.There are plenty of opportunities to hit your head as you go through to the kitchen. It’s all part of the holiday!
