Fabulous cottage
We enjoyed a short break in this fabulous cottage. Tucked away on a very quiet road but walking distance to all general amenities. There are some great places to eat however the kitchen is fully stocked should you wish to cater for yourselves. Our host was very friendly and helpful and provided us with an allocated parking space. Would recommend the cottage and location.
