The cottage is a lovely property with plenty of space and a lovely big garden. We enjoyed our family weekend stay; plenty of amenities in the property, good amount of private parking, and plenty to do nearby. The property owner was easy to contact when we had an isue with the front door locking and someone came out to help very quickly.
