Upon arrival we were greeted with both excitement and warmth by our hosts: Toby and her charming husband Joe. They greeted us into their home as if we were old friends. We were treated to a quick tour of the lovely cottage and grounds. The cottage is very private and quaint, it is also decorated very richly with both artifacts from their personal travels and their own art (they are both famous artists.) Everything was clean and tidy and the small use of space was utilized effectively to fit most of your belongings. The garden in back was beautiful and serene. We spent some of our mornings drinking coffee and eating our biscotti’s (offered by our hosts). The neighborhood was the 2nd best thing to the cottage and our hosts. Everything is within walking distance and the neighborhood offers a variety of coffee shops, good eats, parks, and even a natural market.
