The cottage itself is very well equipped with comfortable beds , kitchen and tv etc. we stayed with four ( and briefly 5 ) adults plus a dog. Living space was therefore a little tight but we knew that when we booked so not a moan at all. ( My wife and I will definitely return and enjoy the space to ourselves more )Great little courtyard garden should weather permit. Highly recommend Bonnie Cottage. ##### Brendan Barrow This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendan Barrow Jun 1, 2025 #### Absolutely love Bonnie Cottage and just returned from third visit. Absolutely love Bonnie Cottage and just returned from third visit. Location is perfect. Drove there and left the car pretty much untouched for two weeks as all walks and trips from either front door or convenient buses. Parking permit is a massive plus. When just the two of us , lovely living space and eating area. When our daughters came for a weekend it got very tight and lacked space to be comfortable downstairs. ( They are adults though so young children may be less of an issue ). Sleeping areas and bathrooms are perfect for 4+. Very well equipped kitchen. A real gem of a holiday cottage. ##### Brendan Barrow
