Superbly situated and the added bonus of a dedicated parking space. The cottage has everything needed for a break away and instructions and useful information.

Young children would need a stairgate to close off the top of the stairs (there is a stairgate at the property) and the steepness of the stairs would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues or for whom steep stairs present difficulty.
