What a charming little cottage in a most picturesque spot. With 3 bedrooms it gave our family of four a comfortable, sweet home away from home. The fully equipped kitchen and laundry provides everything you need to be self sufficient. Aircon, wood fire & hot tub all catering for multiple weather conditions. Highly recommend.
