The cottage was perfect for us there was everything that one would need. The bed was super comfy and loads of equipment washing machines, dishwasher etc I would definitely go back. In the village there was 2 pubs 3 restaurants and another pub/restaurant 30 minute walk away and another pub/restaurant 20 minute walk away.

It would be nice to have a “normal” toiletdoor instead of a sliding door. It would give a little bit more privacy
