Cozy Cottage

Comfortable space for four adults. Short walk (~5 minutes) to shops, ~15 minutes to the old course. Accurate listing and more walkable than I expected.

Quirky Cottage Delight

What a gorgeous little cottage in an excellent location! We loved the layout of the cottage . The upstairs bathroom was great with the bath for a long soak, after a day walking around the town. The bedrooms had loads of cupboard space and the beds were really comfy. The cottage felt really cosy at night and the dog was very at home. We would definitely come back to Quirky Cottage! The shower has a bit of a strange squeal although it was nice and powerful and the water was hot. I felt the late check-out fee was overpriced for only an extra hour .

Spring reunion

Could nt really fault anything. When I asked for a couple of items they were replaced immediately. Parking may be a problem when the town is busy. I had a blue badge and parked at the door. Would be helpful if the recycling ie what goes into different colours could be affixed to back door. Totally different from where I live. Also a gripper bar in shower. I would stay again.
