Weekend getaway

We loved the Book Keepers Cottage. Convenient location, close to everything, without having to use the car. Cosy cottage with plenty of room. Well equipped kitchen for cooking ‘at home’. Easy to communicate with owner.

Cottage with character

The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. It was very close to the main street and we were able to walk everywhere for food and drinks. The extreme heat-wave made the house very hot for our visit, despite the fans and air conditioners, which was unfortunate.
