Parking was a bit poor but we always found a space either on the street or beside the pub. The steps were a bit of a hassle as they were uneven and the only railing was covered by the overgrown lavender. Over all I would stay again, it was perfect.

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and maintained with a peaceful garden out back. Comfortable beds and stayed cool even on a really hot day. Kitchen well stocked with all you would need. Only downside was the lack of parking nearby.
