Well barnThe cottage is in a great location , easy to reach both coast 😀. Lovely cottage in a quiet location. You can hear some traffic noise, but not that it affects your stay . The only things in my opinion Bed side lamps and a better fitting velux blind . Also could do with a dressing table with mirror. If you don't have a portable mirror this could be a problem. A perfect place for couples wanting to be away from all. Would stay again. Also lovely welcome goods biscuits milk tea coffee and wine , which was a very considerate of the owners 😀
