This place is such a relaxing and comforting escape from the city! After a couple of challenging years working in a COVID ICU. I have been dreaming of a getaway where I could recharge and replenish.

We are Scottish, have travelled all 7 continents staying in all kinds of places but this cottage is right up there with the best. A 5-star retreat that hits the spot for us. We wanted a private quiet retreat frankly to do nothing. Just perfect! Had fun feeding the goats and eating peaches. I do hope we can do it again. Slante Mhath! Tom & Shala, WA

We loved the quiet solitude of the surrounds. The cottage was light, bright and very inviting. Lovely outdoor seating are with sounds from the fountain. We did some cooking. Jaime provided eggs & goat cheese, Yum! and we picked a peach from a tree in the garden. Shopped for mussels & salmon, cooked together, and had romantic quiet dinners. Dave & Barbara, CA

After a long homebound experience with the pandemic, this was the perfect place for our first vacation.
