We loved our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our trip to move my daughter into wcu. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of moving her into the dorm. I would definitely book this cottage again.

The property was more worn than in the pictures. It was clean and was a good value for the money. Yard had lots of mole or vole tunnels making it hazardous to walk around.
