This is a lovely cottage in a very good location. Short walk into town. It has everything you need and the owner has even put the essentials in like coffee, tea, milk and toilet paper. A nice touch were the flowers! We found the wet room a bit of a challenge. We found it difficult to get the bathroom floor dry for the next person, but the shower was lovely. Comfy chairs in the lounge and a big enough table to play board games on! ##### Gerardus This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 3 Oct 2019 #### Loved it in this apartment, right size in good venue.
