I stayed here with my dog and felt immediately at home. The cottage is really great, everything was clean and the owners are absolutely lovely! It's only a short walk into town and a park for walking the dog is just a few minutes away. Would highly recommend staying here!

Lovely cottage well situated, the only drawback is the parking on the road. We were ok each day, but it was not always easy as the road was busy.
