This cottage is a gem and Stephen was an excellent host. The property has a fairy tale vibe, with art filling every corner. If you’re lucky enough to find him/her sun bathing, a gorgeous black garden cat will become a fast friend. My partner and I spent a couple winter nights and while we took a few short adventures to nearby caves and beaches, we ended up spending most of our time enjoying the cozy quiet of the cottage. There’s a great book collection! Stephen left firewood outside our door a couple times a day and gave us tips on great spots to check out. We felt very well cared for. We plan to book in again next time we visit Topanga
