Great Location, Beautiful Cottage, Wonderful StayWe really enjoyed our stay at this charming little Beaufort cottage. The location was great — it was easy to walk to the waterfront, shops, restaurants, and the horse carriage rides, which made exploring the area really convenient. We loved being able to park the car and just enjoy the town on foot.The cottage itself was beautiful, comfortable, and nicely decorated with a historic feel. The kitchen was modern and well-equipped, which was a nice bonus. Everything felt clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together.The hosts were easy to work with and made check-in simple. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and had a wonderful time. We’d definitely stay here again.
