Peaceful, wonderful cottage getaway, clean and tidy, Amanda and family tremendous hosts.

Wow, what a wonderful break away we had The freedom to walk around and watch the running of the farm was amazing. We certainly timed our stay at a busy time. The supplies provided were much appreciated. Wonderful cozy, clean cottage, and there was everything available for our stay, our small fur baby enjoyed his play with the big boys. Needless to say Amanda and family were very welcoming hosts, and we will definitely be back, again and again.

Beautiful wee cottage that has everything you need. Rural and peaceful but the shops are a short ride away should you need supplies which is always a plus for us city folk that forget eveything 😊 Amanda and her family are awesome hosts and I would definitely return should I travel back to the CHB. Highly recommend. Thank you Manda & Family. From the Smiths'

My family and I would return to the cottage in a heartbeat - it was an idyllic spot and so lovely for our Australian friend to experience. It was a working farm yet Amanda and her family were very respectful of our privacy and quiet enjoyment of the cottage. We were also terribly appreciative being able to bring our small lapdogs with us, it made all the difference. It was so lovely to meet their friendly dogs Finn and Buster, and Flopsy the goat, and seeing sheep and deer.

We always feel nervous when staying at a new place, but we felt instantly welcome and it wasn't long before we felt right at home! The beds are warm and comfy and the kitchen is well stocked with equipment etc. Our kids especially loved the puzzles, toys and games! We will definately stay again!
