Elizabeth was the perfect hostess even though we didn’t meet. We had an informative and happy exchange of emails before our arrival. She wanted to be sure everything was smooth and straightforward which it certainly was. She even got a friend to pick us up from the station and drop us off via the scenic route which we appreciated very much indeed. Michael is a gem. The house was as described but in situ even more charming and enchanting being set among ferns and mountain ash. The place was clean and tidy but clearly lived in and loved which endeared it even more to us, making it feel even more a privilege. The food options around and about are enough for all tastes from self-catering to restaurants and cafes to sit in and take away. We did everything by bus and it is so easy and practical to do even if the busses are only every hour or longer. I can thoroughly recommend this gorgeous place owned by a kind and generous person.
