  • Susan

    It is a large and comfortable house that is very well equipped with everything you need. The owner Rich kept us well informed and sorted out a minor problem immediately. We were on our own as our friends couldn't come with us due to illness so we just used the ground floor but the house will easily accommodate a group of friends or a large family. We hope to return and hopefully have better weather.

  • Jane

    The best equipped cottage we’ve ever stayed in. Excellent communication with owner. Highly recommend this property

  • Jennifer

    We had a wonderful stay, exploring the area knowing we had such a comfortable place to come back and relax in at the end of the day. Rich, the owner, was most helpful, sending us lots of information and suggestions of things to do before and upon arrival, and he was readily available to contact should we need him. Thanks so much, Rich, we can't wait to come back!
