We had a wonderful 3-night, 4-day stay. Ada cottage was comfortable, warm, and very clean, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. Its central location was a big plus, with everything conveniently close by. Overall, a pleasant and hassle-free experience that I’d happily recommend.

The house is perfect. Had everything we needed and the host provide detailed information on how to get there as well as how to get in to the house. There was provision for breakfast for a few days. The kitchen had very thing we needed. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the towels were high class. There was plenty of wood for the inside fire and when not in use the electric heater kept the house nice and cosy. Easy 10 minutes walking distance to town and shops and a 15 minute walk to the local pub. Lovely views from the front veranda and very comfortable chairs to sit and watch the world go by. Will be coming back very soon . Thank you for a great week.
