Know what to expect.
Great spacey cottage and friendly owner. 'Breakfast' was limited to milk and serials, no other choice. Others did get proper breakfast but it's policy to do that only for guest who stay longer then 3 days. We were not told where the swimming pool could be found, later we heard that it's in the garden of the owner and that you should ask his permission to use it first... I think it's good to manage the right expectations, therefor this review about the breakfast and pool...

Near perfect overnight stay. Great location.
Superbly kitted out cottage, heaps of character and charm. Loved the fireplace. Appreciated their approach to managing water and waste- quite refreshing compared to many others. Highly recommend. Wished I had booked more nights.

Very convenient with short walk to restaurants.
It was a pity we only stayed for one night. Beautiful cottage with everything one could wish for. Large living area and very peaceful surroundings. We were amazed at the night sky, flooded with stars and crystal clear..
