The cottage is the childhood home of Matt Frahm, the owner, who now lives in LA. I look after the cottage for him and manage the bookings. The cottage is furnished with some antique pieces from Matt’s family and has recently been refurbished with a new sofa, armchair and carpets. Please do get in touch with me for further information.
