The house was lovely, however, it would have been nice to know that the yard is not secure. There is a large gap in the fence where it joins a side driveway and the front fence is only hip height. Other than that, it was a great place to stay. The location is great and quiet.

New years getaway
5 nights of down time after a busy year in a lovely cottage close to town. The house was beautifully presented with everything needed for a relaxing break. The well equipped kitchen was well used. While bbq & pizza oven were a great way to bring in the New Year.
