Donât be put off by no on site parking as there is parking available on the roadside near the cottage, we had no problems at all, we went out every day & there was always space available when we got back. Can highly recommend this cottage

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.
