Great location close to town, but without the noise. Great location, central but quiet. Everything you need for a short stay. Would enjoy another stay in future. Master bed is a little on the small side, but manageable and cosey

Stayed in this cottage for 7 nights. Its a beautiful little cottage and the photos in the listing look great but in reality its even better. Had everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was well equipped so we could cook any meal we wanted (only thing we mised was a pair of food tongs). The lounge is super quaint and comfortable. Bathroom is great, nice size shower with lots of hot water. Towels provided were great quality. The main bed was super comfy. The only negative for us at the property was the layout of the stairs. You have to go upstairs to a small landing, then another flight leads up to the bathroom, and another flight leads to the bedrooms. So during the night to go to the bathroom you have to come out of bedroom, down a flight of steps and up another to the bathroom. Back to bed is down then up again. If you are able bodied its absolutely no problem but my wife is partially disabled and it was difficult for her. Not a biggie though. Cottage is awesome
