"Excellent little cottage, we loved it. For those who might have big culinary plans the kitchen is pretty cosy and can only have 1 person at a time but it's super well equipped and a dishwasher in the adjoining room. It was super clean, well equipped, great location to wander around town and a very cute little place. Suited our family perfectly. Thankyou!"
