Large kitchen/diner with loads of cupboard space. 2 lounges and 2 bathrooms. Comfy beds and a clever light on the landing which came on automatically. Outside large car parking area. The patio area was great with table and 6 chairs and a great hot tub and plenty of space. We canât recommend this cottage enough.
