Ross Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Paul and Jo, the hosts, are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The house is sparkling clean and well equipped, and the bed linen is of a high quality. The garden is lovely, and we enjoyed the croquet and hot tub. We used Ross Cottage as a base for tramping and trail running in the Mt Somers/Clearwater area, and it was excellently situated for this. We highly recommend Ross Cottage, and Paul and Jo.
