Superb location and views. The generally low doorways and the very low and narrow passage to the two twin rooms are part and parcel of renting an old character cottage. Theres a wonderful tranquility to the cottage that in my opinion, is worth the hire cost alone. Near silence (birdsong and the very occasional plane or car creeping by) and supRead moreerb views allow any stress to almost instantly drop away upon arrival. Theres a lot to do nearby, with beaches, rivers and shopping all a short drive away. And plenty of opportunities for walking. Hide
