We stayed at Lauren and Matt’s cottage for my wedding weekend and it was the perfect oasis! It was clean, well stocked with everything you could need, and Lauren had wonderful communication and made everything go so smoothly! There’s a farm down the same road with horses and donkeys that my nephews loved to visit. The location was perfect and convenient for us. I would highly recommend!
Very cute place to stay, love the asthetic of the home and great outdoor space. Bunk beds are small tho, so big kids are definitely a no go to sleep on those. Wifi doesnt really work there either. But for a quick stay it works great!
