This is a beautiful cottage to stay in. We liked it so much we did not go out every day - we just wanted to enjoy it. Having said that there is lots to do in the area. I would say it is a good idea to research the villages around to get an idea what is open when. The EV charger is great. A/C in bedroom was very welcome. We would come back here.
