It is a quaint historic cottage, beautifully decorated and makes you feel like you have stepped back in time, but with all the mod cons. Supplies loads of goodies as well as breakfast which is an added bonus. We loved that there was a sign welcoming our dogs as well, a great touch. I highly recommend it.
