Charming Cottage

This is the second time we have stayed at Dark Skies Cottage. It is a short walk to the shops. The cottage is comfortable and cosy with everything you need. I would recommend staying here and would stay at Dark Skies again. If you have mobility issues it may be difficult to get in and out of the shower as it’s over a deep bath.
