Great location close to town. The kitchen and balcony areas especially pleasant. Some great views. If you aren't used to hills the parking arrangement can prove challenging.

We had a great week at the cottage. So many good pubs and restaurants in walking distance and so many places to visit. The cottage was very clean, very spacious and well equipped. The allocated parking space was a bonus. I ended up leaving the car there and just doing walks or using ferries.
