Very nice, clean cottage. Short walk to the water. 15 minute walk to town center or a 5 minute drive.
Only negative is no WiFi. The town supposedly has free WiFi but we could not find any.

The property was ok with a well kept garden and the cottages were clean but very old and a bit tired. Unfortunately there were 2 leaks in our roof (admittedly it was extremely heavy rain) and we found the cottage a bit cold. The owners were very friendly. I would suggest some updating and maintenance is required

We arrived very late in the evening of 7th May after heavy snow had delayed our journey from Bright over the mountains and we kept texting our host as our ETA became later and later to which they kept reassuring us is was not a problem and finally after a torturous and exhausting trip, provided sustenance for a late dinner upon our arrival at 9pm, assuming we had not had dinner, which was the case-so kind and considerate!
