I had a great time staying in Julia's Eco-Cottage, and Julia was there to greet me when I arrived and show me around and let me know where to find things etc. I loved the quietness and where the Cottage was situated, right near the Blue Ridge trails so I was in heaven being a long-distance runner and keen outdoors person. The Cottage had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and the bed was very comfortable, and it was lovely to go to bed and wake up with the birds singing. Also watching the mad squirrels do their leaping around the trees was entertaining.
Very much enjoyed the bounce-friendly company of Julia's Dog Milo, he was such a friendly dog and I loved him visiting me in the mornings and evenings to say hello.
Julia went out her way to help me, as I was not able get my phone working and had not planned any transportation or got any food. Julia kindly drove me to the shops to get food, get a local mobile phone connected and enquire about a hire car and/or a bicycle to buy, all the same day and spending some few hours with me as I made my decisions. This was so nice of Julia and I am very grateful. Julia also asked her next door neighbor to see if they had a bike for me to borrow and there was one for which again I was very grateful for.
Since I love to run and cycle, I did not get the car and ran everywhere even to town and back, but you will definitely need transportation if staying in the Cottage as its 4 miles roughly from the town centre, and the roads to the town from the cottage are not cycle friendly.
11 out 10 for a great stay, recommend it.
