Lovely little cottage. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast items were such a nice touch. We were a group of 3 ladies and with the layout we each had a bed in different rooms which was handy. I am a light sleeper so the road noise was a bit annoying for me when trying to fall asleep but once asleep it was all good.
