The cottage is really very quaint and very well appointed. It feels like staying in someone's home. Little details down to stationery in the desk drawers, extensive spices and condiments made the stay very pleasant. Jade the Russell Terrier was very charming as was the black cat. Anna, Linda's housekeeper was always very friendly and helpful. When we invited four of our friends for a BBQ on the patio, Linda showed up with candles.
