Wow. How can such a narrow cottage have so much space! Large bedrooms and bathroom. Excellent equipped kitchen, traditional Christmas dinner cooked with ease. Very comfortable and homely and superbly appointed.

Nell's Cottage is an extremely comfortable and well appointed cottage with excellent facilities, which has been done up to an high standard. It ticks every box and is clearly the pride and joy of the owner who wants guests to enjoy it as much as she obviously does. I think everyone will buy into that.
