It is ideal for a family or two couples.
Walk down the short sloping path and take a few steps down before entering the house. Leading from the hallway, is a cosy and comfortable lounge with an attractive flame effect fire and lovely co-ordinated furnishings. On the other side of the hallway you will find two delightfully cheerful and comfortable bedrooms: a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. The modern family bathroom lies nearby.

The listing did not indicate that it was situated on the outskirts of the town.. The walk to and from town was quite a distance.. If we had known we may not have chosen this bungalow..

I have stayed in this cottage before, and would stay again, but in 2023 is wi-fi really too much to ask?
