Mar 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing cottage We had the most needed time out at this cozy, clean cottage. We were left to wander at leisure or sit in the garden near the waterfall. Margaret came to our rescue with a drop of milk when we arrived. She was very kind about my resent loss of my Mother and my need to get away from everything. We would definetly go back. ##### Clare M.
