Cute and cozy

We really enjoyed our cottage stay; plenty of room, clean and comfy beds, big dining space and a lovely porch to sit on with a cup of coffee and a book. The location was excellent. The only issue was the trail of ants entering the kitchen area.

Relaxing

Property was in a very quiet location but close enough for a short walk to shops. Lots of room to move but still cozy especially with the log fire.

The property was lovely and very peaceful. Unfortunately we had a problem with ants in the kitchen, there is a small hole on the window frame which is where they appear to be coming in. Also, we believe that there is a mouse in the main bedroom, we could hear him running across the carpet although could not see any droppings, we think it is under the bed.
