Geoffrey
Well situated just round corner from High Street and very short walk to bus stop. Parking though not outside the cottage was just at the end of the road on an official car park for £13 a week. Ideal. Other parking available in the village. Lots of marked walks round the village and along the 'Edge' without needing the car. Larger mat inside the door would be appreciated so as to enable all shoes to be removed before treading on the carpet.

It would be helpful to have a rubber mat for shower to prevent possibility of slips. Otherwise a lovely spacious place for a 2 person holiday. So pleased we went.
