    We had a really lovely, relaxing stay at this gorgeous cottage. It had everything we needed, really clean and wonderfully cozy. It was in such a beautiful location and the gardens were lovely. It would definitely be somewhere we will come back to, perhaps late Spring/Summer to see the garden in all its glory. Our hosts were very obliging and helpful and I would recommend this cottage to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing break. Susan K

    We were very disappointed as our stay was unfortunately cut short due to COVID-19, however we found John to be so helpful and accommodating and the accommodation was very cosy, quiet and clean in a lovely garden setting. Easy walk to trailheads to Mt. Feathertop. Will definately be back, thank you John :)
