Such a comfortable we'll equipped cottage in a very nice village. Perfect for exploring the region. Extra touches in the cottage very welcome with plenty of charging plugs and very comfortable beds. Good parking outside and nice garden. The extra treats left were a welcome surprise. Definitely recommend
