Holiday with family
This is a very well presented cottage close to town. Just a 2 minute drive or a ten minute walk to shops. A lot of attention has been given to the inside to ensure comfort and the outside gardens are beautifully maintained. The back yard has a nice space to sit and enjoy coffee or dinner outdoors. We plan on rebooking again very soon.

Excellent property, very well presented.
Recommendation:
- instructions know to turn up heating as it was a cold wet weekend
- upstairs shower wet the floor and not a wet room. Extractor advised and cloth to dry floor.
