So happy that you settled in and had time to really enjoy the cottage and the beautiful Bali vibe.
FWI we have just created a gate so you can now walk from the fire pit direct on to the Green and out the waters edge.
Tank you for choosing YCC 1870 !

The inside, all rooms are immaculate, the lounge with the fire place is beyond cosy, kitchen serves perfectly for inside or outside meals, especially in-the-sun breakfast on the elevated deck overlooking the water and boats
We had a wonderful overnight stay at York Cove Cottage, perfect location for what we needed.

Stunning position by the water, close to shops, pub & delightful restaurant. Interesting decorative touches in the rooms, though drawers rather than artificial palm tree in main bedroom would be more practical.

Thanks so much for staying Jennifer, i couldn't help but giggle re the palm tree, I spent 10years living in Bali, i guess i brought the madness home with me.. very valid point though, I'll see how i can coordinate both.. win win :)

We visited the area for a family wedding and had the most beautiful stay in Georgetown. The house is in the perfect location to shops and we enjoyed the bikes on offer to explore the area. The beds were so comfortable and the house was great for our family group. Janmaree was a great host and always on hand to answer questions and offer local tips!

Loved being able to see the boats on the water, close to everything. Had dinner at the pier hotel, right across from the house.
The house itself had a good feel to it, with each room having something different to it almost quirky.
Host was great with communication and happy to help with any queries or to give a recommendation.
