Wonderful little cottage

My fiance and I stayed here for a one-night Valentine's Day getaway and it was perfect. Quiet, comfortable, and spacious. In the morning, we walked across the street to the little breakfast cafe. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely consider a longer stay in the near future.
