We stayed at this cottage for four days and really enjoyed the experience. The location made it easy to travel around and visit nearby attractions, which was a huge plus. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole place had a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Its a lovely environment to relax in, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and convenient getaway.
