Met the owner as we were leaving whom was lovely. Village itself was so lovely and peaceful, after about 19:30 hardly any traffic and very quiet, everyone did say hello. The instructions asked us to park our car to the left looking out of the porch which we did, then a neighbour asked us to move it so just park outside, didn't see anyone needing to use the bus stop while we were there.

Bathroom was small, showerroom and sink. Overall we had a pleasant stay here for a week and a good base for the beautyful surroundings. A lot of folders were to be found in the cottage.
