Overall, a lovely place to stay. The views from the property are amazing. The location is close enough to walk to Ganges but remote enough to feel secluded.
In order to enjoy the amazing views, there is a pretty steep driveway to navigate. It had rained a lot before we arrived, so the driveway was full of muddy potholes, which we got stuck in. After backing our car up halfway down the steep windy path and parking on the road, we hiked back up to talk to the host. He was quite responsive and drove our car up the driveway for us (he knows it well). During our stay, he got to work filling the potholes so it was marginally better when we left.
Unfortunately, the cottage could use some work. The stove is so rusty under the burners that they barely stay in place for cooking. The furniture in the living room is old enough to be a bit uncomfortable. The floors in the bathroom have quite a bit of water damage. But the deck is well situated and there is an outdoor hot tub to enjoy after your day of island trekking.
There is some livestock as well. Chickens, a sheep and a goat. The goat came by around dinner time on our first night to say hello, much to our amusement.
On the plus side, the host leaves a lovely welcome basket with farm fresh eggs, bread, butter & cream. The kitchen is well stocked with oil, salt, coffee, etc. Also, the host operates an elaborate and exquisitely detailed model train yard. Worth checking out.
I'd consider staying again.
