It's a beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. The garden was amazing and we enjoyed it very much. The kitchen is nice and spacious. The bedrooms were comfy. It's nice how they maintained the old style feel throughout the cottage.

I loved how it was dripping with charm. Absolutely beautiful. The cottage was perfect for our type of travel in the sense that we felt we had been immersed into the local history. It was exactly what we were looking for.
