very peaceful
The cottage is very well organised, very clean and welcoming. The owner has decorated the interior beautifully. The deck is a lovely place to spend time relaxing and the large doors were perfect to keep the cottage cool on very hot days. Its just a short stroll to the square and all the cafes and bars and boutique shops.

Great place, great location, great host
The property was better than expected! great doors that open up to the deck. Host was great, as place got booked on the dates I was after but let me know when that booking was canceled/changed. Diana was also very accommodating of Mum and I's needs and although we had car trouble... we had a great weekend at this property. Thanks
