    “We enjoyed our stay.”

    The cottage is in a great location. 2 mins walk to the town but in a very peaceful location. So quiet at night. As mentioned previously the car park space does only fit one car & the wi-fi is very slow. The kitchen steps are very steep but we had got used to them by the end of the week. Would definitely stay here again.

The village also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much, much more.
