“This is a truly adorable cottage. It is small but very cosy, warm, beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped throughout, with a stunning bedroom and ensuite. The log burner in the lounge gives off a lot of heat and is great for cosying up in the winter. Perfect for a romantic holiday for two! We spent Christmas here and had a wonderful relaxing holiday, with great walks from the door across the salt marshes."
