The cottage was a tiny home, cute, cosy, warm & pretty. It had many lovely touches inside. It was old and had been done up and was very clean and fresh. Kitchen had oven and stove top and all accessories. Bathroom the same. Bedroom was lovely. Just room to put case. Bed comfortable. Heating throughout. Windows were pretty. Host had been away and arrived back on our stay and very helpful about walks and things to do. Outside area but too cold!
