Incredibly peaceful with spectacular views of the nearby fields and hills, your traditional stone cottage is the ideal relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

An ode to the town’s famous stone-built market place and the perfect environment to forget all of your modern stresses.
