When booking Rhonda's cottage, I worried a little that it looked a little more like a suburban home than a rural cottage, however as I discovered it's simply the best of all worlds. It has all the beautiful charm of the old cottage it truly is, along with the more modern, comfortable feel of a newer home. The gardens are beautiful, and the setting is peaceful and relaxing. We were there in winter and were happy venturing out to any of the many pretty local destinations, just as happy to wander the country roads nearby, and just as happy sitting by the fire. Rhonda was a perfect host, and all was great.
