Cottage perfect base for days out. Cottage would benefit from a general makeover. Bathroom in need of modernization. Kitchen lacking in appropriate glassware (eg only one wine glass). Spent two of our three evenings in the cottage in front of a lovely log burner but would benefit with a modern smart tv .

A bit of manoeuvring to park the car outside and a tiny little place, but very comfortable.
