Lovely cottage nestled within its own grounds. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful place to spend a few hours watching the birds, with a cup of tea. Within the cottage itself everything worked tho it has a dated feel. There is a VERY steep driveway and if you’re not a confident driver it may prove to be a little too much.
