Cute cabin, great location!
The cabin was right in the centre of town, 2 mins walk to the pubs and shops and right next to the botanical gardens. Fully stocked pantry which was a nice touch! It's perfect for a short stay, lots to explore in the area and surrounding towns.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022
