Maggie was a gracious and available host. Her prompt replies and kindness were very much appreciated. This property has beautiful and natural 19th century charm and the cottage is the perfect size, had everything I needed and is tastefully decorated. Only 2 things would have made my stay even better. With me being from a warmer part of America, I would have preferred having the heating system on, even though it is stated on the webpage that it's not turned on until September. The wifi signal wasn't strong enough for my needs but not everyone uses the internet while they are on a country vacation/holiday. When outside, I was enchanted and let my imagination take me back in time. I enjoyed walking around the property, seeing apples, and pears on the trees, grapes on the enormous vines, the little lake with an old playhouse facing it and an old tree house in a fabulously large old tree. A good part of me almost felt like I was transported in time and it was amazing! Staying in this cottage was exactly what I needed!
