A beautiful place. Enjoyed it a lot.
The place was awesome. Was unhappy with the service when we had to check in. Owner provided a location, but when we arrived there was no one to hand over the key. We call her and she says we have to drive to her to get the key or we just have to wait half an hour, this after we have provided her with our arrival time.

Very neat, tasteful and well equipped with friendly reception.
We stayed 4 nights during the flower season and had a great rest. Karen received us with great hospitality and went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. The cottage is just outside the town and very quiet with good security. The indoor barbecue was a bonus for the cold evenings. The unit was very comfortable with strong water pressure for a nice shower. We would definitely want to stay there again.

Two lovely spacious bedrooms each with king size beds (as well as a single bed). Was thankful for electric blankets! Indoor and outdoor grilling. Was great to grill in the freezing cold, with no smell of smoke in the house. Kitchen very well equipped. We were thankful for a lighter as we forgot to bring one! Hope to book in there again soon.
