This shop is an aladdins cave! It is well worth a browse. It is next door to the cottage and sells pretty much EVERYTHING you will need! If you can't see it, ask Pete the shop keeper and he will get it for you! He has a deli counter, fridge counter, fruit and veg, hardware, dry goods, gluten free, and anything else you can imagine! You won't need to go anywhere else!
