The bathroom washbasin + mirror were very restricted because of the large wooden beam, the double bedroom also had a beam above bed. Beds were uncomfortable however the cottage was heated adequately.

Gates to driveway as on an equestrian estate and end cottage backs road, but safe and is quiet. Highly recommend.

Our dog loved the beach which was only 20 minutes away by car. The only negative for me was the beam across the bathroom ceiling. Despite the warning label I still managed to bang my head a few times.
