Nice little holiday cottage. Very clean inside and everything we needed, but we did miss a washing machine. Upstairs as stated in description did not suit taller people because of low ceilings and doorways. The stairs are steep and may be a challenge for less mobile people.

Little crown is great, as are the hosts Matthew and Brian, the property is quirky, with low beams, steep staircases and wonky floors but it's comfortable, quiet and beautifully equipped.
