Ingrid
What a fantastic cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is well proportioned, cosy, tidy and very well equipped. Personal touches from the hosts are really special. I would recommend this home for couples or small groups looking for a quiet but central location.

The Shepherds Cottage 1-19 January 2025 Cozy, comfortable, wonderful! We can’t praise this cottage enough. So much so, we wanted to take it back to the UK with us! We very much enjoyed our long stay at the cottage whilst visiting family and attending weddings. Many thanks again to Judy & Bruce.
