It was such a lovely retreat after our long days out on hikes. Very clean, had washing and drying unit, and full kitchen to cook. The beds were very comfy, ours had a blanket warmer which worked great on the colder nights. Bathroom was seperated which worked well with 5 of us and plenty of hot water. Loved this place, highly recommend!

Beautiful and peaceful, with total privacy. This cottage had everything we needed, with the added bonus of farm animal visitors on misty mornings. Easy travel to local highlights, close to town but far enough away to feel like a hidden sanctuary. Loved it

We lovedddd this Vrbo! It is exactly what we wanted. It was quiet, clean, comfortable. Each room had a fan, which was so nice cause we all liked it cool. We definitely want to stay again in the future but you’ll definitely want a rental car & not rely on uber (hard to get a car out there)
