To simply talk about the beauty of this cottage would be easy to do, but the real treasure is the feelings of peace and quiet and rejuvenation you feel while there. As a couple getting away from the extra responsibilities of Covid 19 and caring for vulnerable family members, we wanted to simply relax, and that is exactly how we felt, relaxed and recharged.
The cottage is pristine clean, open and welcoming. Looking out the front windows all you see is your own private beach with chairs around a fire pit just waiting for us to explore. There are two large decks to relax on, one with a table to play cards, games and eat your meals in the sunshine. The second deck has two large loungers, where we spent our afternoons reading and our evenings watching the shooting stars across the dark sky.
The ceiling fans in each room keeps the interior of the cottage cool and comfortable. The evening breeze makes sleeping peaceful, and the big comfy bed with soft sheets will make you want to snuggle in.
We logged into the wifi, turned on some tunes and forgot about the world for 48 hours. Exploring the beach and spending the afternoon watching the antics of the shore birds and beach combing for driftwood, seashells and rocks was a delightful way to completely unwind. The cottage is just steps away, so there is no need to carry tonnes of stuff with you like you do when going to the beach.
The bathroom with it’s claw foot tub is perfect for a long soak, or for a shower while watching the sunrise over the Bay. There are fluffy white towels to dry off with, and lots of space to set your personal belongings. The stain glass window in the bathroom is beautiful. The tile floors are cool underfoot. The real piece of art is the French door to the bathroom decorated with heart shaped stones and sea glass. These little touches make the cottage charming and beautiful.
The kitchen has everything you need. We spent our turns cooking while the other partner relaxed at the kitchen island enjoying a drink or a book. The special little touches are found in the serving plates, wine glasses and quirky kitchen pieces that set a beautiful table. We brought our own candles to eat by candle light, making it more intimate.
To say we fell in love with the cottage is an understatement. We found peace, intimacy, privacy and togetherness in a cottage by the sea where we were left alone to explore and enjoy. I would like to thank the owners for allowing us our privacy. We knew they were a call away for any assistance we needed, yet they left us to feel that the cottage was “ours”. As we left we knew we would be back again, and our only wish was to stay a few days longer.
