The park and ride bus terminal located just down the road is a huge benefit, we used it every day. Our thoughts on the outdoor space allocated for visitors, this would benefit from some tlc, just a general tidy up with maybe some flower planters to provide a splash of colour and give the area a more appealing feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at this cottage.
