The cottage was cosy and lovely. Would recommend for those looking to get away from city life. Jo was not able to meet up upon arrival but left us clear instructions to get through the gates and into the house. The arrival experience through the gates and up the driveway lined with trees on both sides was really welcoming. The cottage sits at the end of the compound and allows adequate privacy for it's occupants. Fronted by a lake and with hares and horses out to play in the fields behind (you can see them out of the kitchen and bathroom window!), it was a great experience for city-dwellers like ourselves. The place is equipped with all necessary cutleries and glassware for us to enjoy a simple homemade meal using the electric pan with wines from the vineyards we visited. The supermarket is also but a short 15min drive away to get all that we needed. The rustic yet modern cottage offers an authentic cottage stay experience that is considered comfortable for city dwellers. However, if you have zero tolerance for insects, this place might not be suitable as being located in the countryside, you may get the occasional visit by a spider.
