Absolutely beautiful cottage. Very cosy and clean. Really nice welcome gift. Beautifully decorated throughout. The garden is lovely but didn’t use it due to weather. (Wasn’t counting on storms☔️)Unfortunately visited this cottage during very stormy weather and there are not a lot of places to walk to in very bad weather. Would be lovely to visit in the Spring to appreciate such a lovely cottage.
