Aphid's Retreat was incredible! Stewart was very welcoming to both us and to my two dogs. It was great to be greeted also by his 3 dogs and by the beautiful family cow, Rosie. After a long drive, it was wonderful to find such a lovely cottage. Music was playing, candles lit, and the cottage smelled gorgeous from the fragrant candles and soaps. The kitchen was well equipped with quality appliances and well stocked with food. We loved the delicious breakfast hamper which was so generous it could have fed a whole family! The bed linen was beautiful quality and the bed was literally the most comfortable I have ever slept in and I had a wonderful night's sleep. The cottage was impeccably clean and everything we could have needed was provided. We couldn't have wished for a better place to stay and only hoped we could have met Nicole to thank her personally. I hope to return to Aphid's Retreat again.
