The cottage is in prime location with spectacular views. The house is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Only downside is the height of the roofs/beams. The stairs are quite interesting to get up/down because of this….so just be aware if you’re tall (I’m 5.8 and had issues)

Lovely cosy quirky cottage, great location, nice welcome box. Very clean. Nice toiletries. Just sort out creaky bed and it would be perfect...

Great location, well equipped kitchen but a bit tricky if you are over 5ft 11in tall! Really comfortable and cosy. Highly recommended
