OUR VENDOR SAYS It is quiet and yet near to the pubs and shops. It is on the level walking to the church and town. It has space for everything and storage but it is not overwhelming in terms of maintenance. We love the sound of the little children playing at the school. It was the perfect cottage or our retirement but unfortunately COVID got in the way and changed everything.
