What a find Holly Cottage was. It was so inviting. Lovely, warm and very cosy. It’s quite a large lounge but didn’t even need to light the fire. Beds were so comfortable with quality bedding. Kitchen was well equipped all you could need including a dishwasher. Very close to the town centre. We were sad to leave. We will defiantly be back to stay 😃
