A sweet and comfortable cottage set in well-kept gardens with lots of birdlife and a big stand of tōtara nearby. Heat pump and double glazing made it cosy in midwinter. The cottage is fairly private, and John and Glenda were the perfect hosts - friendly and accessible but not at all intrusive. Fresh eggs, bacon, toast, milk, yoghurt, muesli all provided. Full kitchen with good saucepans and baking dishes. We'll hope to come again in summer and see the garden in full bloom.
