The Lone Cottage and our host, Francine, come by their reputations honestly. What an incredible stay! Francine and Stuart were so welcoming, helpful, funny, informative, generous (I could go on). So many nice little touches (wood fire burning on our arrival; enough little candies and biscuits for each of our children; games galore for our kids to dive into; fresh eggs and bacon for us to make breakfast. Plus, Francine showed us around the working farm--delightful for adults and kids alike. Feeding the baby lambs, walking around the farm, getting a walk thruif the shearing process, and just hearing Francine and Stu's stories. It really made our visit special. Our girls came away from the trip with a new role model in Francine. All of that, and the surroundings are just beautiful. Thank you Francine and Stu!
