Nice location
It was a nice quiet location. Decor a bit dated, needed £1 coins for the meter. Enjoyed watching the swallows feeding their babies. Had no communication with the property owner but couldn’t leave the star rating blank.

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Near to all you need. May be a bit cold in winter with no central heating, although the log burner will keep the living room nice and warm.
