We had a fantastic few days staying here and couldn't have asked for a better place to relax. The cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a great night's sleep after our days exploring and visiting friends. The location was perfect for us—peaceful, private and surrounded by nature, yet only a few minutes from town and local attractions. It was the ideal balance of tranquillity and convenience.Leonie was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. The fresh eggs and milk waiting for us on arrival were such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We'd happily stay here again!

The cottage is well equiped and comfortable, clean and peaceful. We loved sitting out on the deck watching the birds. Leona made us welcome with useful edible gifts and was a good communicator. I highly recommended it as a quiet getaway.

What a fantastic place in a quiet rural area. Spacious with a comfortable bed and restful vistas. My only regret is I didn’t factor in more time to sit on the deck and read my book. Leona was an excellent host
