The cottage photos were deceptive, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was a comfortable size for 3 adults. You need a car to get groceries. Views from the back of the cottage make you feel you are in the middle of the countryside. Plenty of walking routes, some a bit overgrown. Welcome pack was greatly appreciated.
