A great location for a short break. A well equipped cottage in a great location in a charming village. Lots of places of interest nearby. We stayed there during a heat wave and the old thick stone walls and the riverside courtyard garden made it all bearable. The owners were very considerate and helpful and provided a nice touch of flowers in the bedroom. Pack of local bacon was excellent too!
