A boutique experience with heart and art. The location is superb overlooking a quiet valley through the foliage of red autumn leaves. The cottage is a delight - lots of glass to enjoy the view, whimsical art works, a koi pond, books to enjoy, and a brand new chefs kitchen. The hand of the maker is everywhere in small touches such as miniature paper cranes to the entire cottage which was lovingly built over many years. Those who have been to japan will smile at the unique shower bathroom with a view which feels like a private onsen set on the edge of a beautiful valley. The hosts were very generous with local knowledge to ensure we made the most of the holiday and checking that we had all the supplies we needed. Our two days at Persian silk were far too short.
