We were greeted with tremendous warmth by Elizabeth, and assured that she and Alan would be available if there was anything at all that we needed. Her authentic friendliness was indeed a lovely welcome. The cottage itself felt welcoming and comfortable with many personal touches in its decor, as well as lots of great light in the evening, and light streaming in through the windows and skylights during the day, filling the spacious rooms with their high ceilings. We were able to peer at the moon through the kitchen skylight one evening. All the amenities were simple but practical, such as the shower -- so easy to use and adjust, encouraging a very pleasant, and certainly longer than necessary shower. The location is perfect, right across the street from Beacon Hill Park, a most beautiful and charming park where we walked each morning and evening, or crossed through to get to the sea. We have never stayed in a more impeccably kept guest house, and were also allowed complete privacy, both of which helped us to feel relaxed and away -- quite away from the stresses of the world.
