What a wonderful visit I had here at this cottage that used to be “grandma’s house.” It’s such a cool property, set away from the road (not a busy road anyway). The cottage is newly constructed— and therefore nice and clean, modern and fully functioning with new fancy stainless steel appliances. However, you still get the rustic old feel of this place with the old stone barns/sheds remaining. One still looks to be in use for the 3 cows out there grazing in the large fields and foothills out back. Marie has also planted a good number of trees and perennials which were amazing when I was there in May. What’s more, as the trees and such mature and fill in over time, the garden will be even sweeter than as I enjoyed it to be this past week.
Marie greeted me on check in with some lovely items from the local bakery and (because I didn’t have a car), she even timed her arrival so that she could swing by the local grocery store where I had done some shopping to drive me and my groceries to the property. It’s only a 12 minute walk to the local grocery, but with groceries in tow, it would have been a rough walk. What a dear!!
She really extended herself to make sure my stay was the best ever. I will definitely come back when I’m in the area if it’s available.
One item of note— as you can see in the pictures on the property profile, there are no window coverings in the living room. So the cottage is as advertised, so certainly no complaints about something that was so obvious before I arrived. It did have me feeling a bit exposed. However, as I considered it further, I noted that the house is set away from the road and the gate can be locked. So I was ultimately satisfied for my safety. It was just something that was a bit out of the ordinary for me so I thought I’d give it a mention…. I have not a single regret about my stay and I’ll be back in the future!!
Cheers!
