The host made us feel really welcome by greeting us when we arrived and helping us to get settled into the cottage and there were fresh flowers throughout. We were shown how to use the internet and cable and were shown around the house. This was much more of a welcome than we would have received at a hotel.

The cottage was well appointed and everything we needed to cook in the kitchen was there - including coffee filters, dish washing detergent, etc, everything except our food. In the past, when we have stayed at homes, we've had to buy these things and usually in much greater quantities than needed. Our host was kind enough to tell us where to find the best shopping before we arrived.

Our host checked on us a couple of times during our stay and occasionally, some fresh avocados showed up. The attention was much appreciated. It was a delightful stay and we would enjoy staying again.
