We had an idyllic week in glorious weather. The setting is lovely with a buccolic view. The cottage is generously equipped and comfortable. The bedroom /bathroom arrangements are such that the downstairs bedrooms are at one end of the house, one bathroom is at the other end and the other bathroom half way. Upstairs there is an ensuite bedroom and another bedroom. I walk with a stroller and found the house user friendly. There are a couple of indoor steps but nothing insurmountable. The owners are friendly and discreet. We found the was lots to do within a 5 mile radius of the house.
