Gorgeous Albert Cottage

Our family of 4 stayed in Albert Cottage for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The cottage is beautifully appointed with incredibly comfortable furnishings and a well equipped kitchen. The location was perfect, a short stroll to the main street and ample parking on the street outside the cottage.we will definitely be back!

Perfect Location

This was an amazing location, a short walk to town, to the Convent Gallery and more. Was fantastic to be able to bring our dog with us who enjoyed the large fully secure back yard. One of the only downsides was that there was no information about bins, heating or anything. We would have been more than happy to put them out but then missed them. But overall a great house, in a great location and we had a great stay! would definately recommend it.
