Great weekend getaway

Had a really enjoyable weekend on my second stay at Elsie’s Cottage. The property is comfortable, neat and tidy, in a quiet street conveniently located about a 10 minute walk into town. Check-in was easy and all essentials are provided. Wine and chocolate was much appreciated. A great place for a relaxing weekend.
