Lovely rural holiday cottage - it was the perfect location for the places we wanted to go to and lots of nice places to visit locally. Had everything we needed and was perfectly clean. Owner very friendly and greeted us on arrival. Plenty of nice places to eat nearby and a good shop in the nearby village for anything you might need. Good value for money. Would stay again and recommend.
