Even though our stay in Pikes Cottage was brief, it was perfect. From the start, Rhonda made the booking procedure seamless and was flexible with our arrival time, which was fabulous as we had several things to attend to, before heading down to the peninsula. She met us upon our arrival with a lovely smile, helpful attitude, and was eager to show us through her beautiful cottage.
The open plan kitchen/dining/lounge was bigger than we envisaged with soft leather lounge chairs, scatter cushions etc - all beautifully presented. Our queen bed was comfy with a snugly doona and we found spare blankets in the cupboard (should we be cold).
The cottage is set beside Rhonda's house on 5 acres, but other than for an initial introduction, we didn't see her at all. We enjoyed the company of Mya the border collie; and Wally a friendly horse, who both watched us with intrigue, while we unpacked the car and enjoyed a cuppa on her porch.
As we have family living not too far from Rhonda's, we were on the lookout for somewhere to call "home" in the Somerville area .... and we are pleased that we found Pike's Cottage.
Without doubt, our next trip will see us stay longer ... and the delicious treats we found in the pantry just added an extra touch to our night away.
Thanks Rhonda... we truly enjoyed our brief stay.
