Very well equipped with everything you could need for a holiday property . The car parking area has a narrow gateway to get into it ..but there is plenty of space . We had a very nice holiday at Manor cottage

Great place to stay if touring the area. the property was very clean and well equipped. Just one suggestion - would be good to have a folder detailing some of the local amenieties and waste bin information. This is the first property we have stayed in that didn't have such a folder! That said would definately stay at Manor Cottage again. Thank you
