They have created a heavenly place to feel at home in their cottage. Both were incredibly helpful and approachable. It was great to talk to them and they even had scones to welcome us. We thank them both very much for the perfect time we had at their cottage. German Text (original): Mary und Michael waren ganz wundervolle Gastgeber.
