This cottage is amazingly beautiful, lovingly cared for and the perfect combination of modern and rustic yet holding all the historic characteristics. The toilet flush handle is actually the end of an old garden spade. So clever!! And all the little hooks and small touches are actually tree branches from the garden. SO much thoughtfulness and care went into creating this one-of-a-kind cottage. You cannot go wrong with a booking here. The washer is great and in the bathroom area which stays nice and toasty warm so the clothing dries super fast hanging up and the floors are always heated in there which was wonderful for us. The wifi is great as well. The bed is super comfy and the big fluffy duvet makes cuddling under it in the cold so nice. And being up in the tower surrounded by the nesting boxes is just beautiful and truly a once in a lifetime thing. Loved the sky lights in the bathroom and living area so you feel like you are looking up into the trees. Fabulous. And Sarah is so kind and knowledgeable. She provides so much useful information on the area, where to eat, transportation and of course all the things in the house as well as its history which is fascinating. If you have a chance ask Sarah about the wonderful trees and creations in her fabulous garden. We arrived at night but I recommend getting there before dark if you can as it is very dark so finding it is harder at night but if you do arrive late like we did just pay close attention to the exact details in Sarah’s email and it will guide you in perfectly. We walked a lot here and also took the bus. I highly recommend the 4 pound day pass which is perfect and lets you hop on and off all day. Very easy walk to the bus stop as well from the cottage. The Garden area is just beautiful. I imagine in spring it is alive and blooming. We saw it in fall and the trees changing color here is just lovely.
