I spent four days in Miriams Boatman's Cottage with my sister and 14 month old nephew. It was absolutely perfect. The photos don't do the incredible view justice. You really need to experience it. My sister and I aren't "sit still" people, but we spent hours just sitting on the balcony, soaking in all in.
We met the lovely Donkeys and were met by Skipper the dog, the worlds best greeting party! We took our two old dogs and watched them transform back to young pooches, romping around the place.
I was concerned about how safe it would be for the toddler, I should not have worried. The balcony is completely enclosed and the gardens were perfectly safe for him to scoot about on a trike.
There was nothing we needed, literally everything was there in the cottage. On the first night, we wished we had bought board games, sure enough, I open a cupboard and there they are! We used the fireplace every night, it was a huge treat and the tennis court. Don't miss a trip down to the Jetty either.
Miriam was around but never intrusive. She gave us great suggestions on what to do and nothing was too much.
If you're looking for somewhere to totally relax, this is it. We can't wait to go back.
