My room at Garden cottage was really lovely. The room was clean, spacious, with nice shampoo and herbal teas! The bed is comfortable and bathroom has nice towels. Everything was clean.

Beautiful stonework and furnishings. Lovely garden to relax in. Microwave and mini fridge for snacks. Great light breakfast (mixed fresh fruits cut up, coffee or... more
