From the very beginning everything was wonderful! Ellen & Andy thought of all the little touches even had a welcome sign for my husband and I outside of the front door! It was really sweet and romantic. They thought outside of the box. They had beer for my husband and sparkling water for me waiting in the refrigerator when we got there. It was a wonderful welcome as if we were family. The cottage was spectacular, private and super clean! They were prompt with response and the bikes were wonderful. We used the bikes almost every day! Even the bikes had spare inner tubes just in case something happened on the road. They even provided numerous trail maps and different ideas for bicycle trips. Really nice. All of the instructions for the cottage and the bikes were extremely clear and we felt well informed upon arrival.
The dogs kept to themselves so there was no problems. Occasionally I would hear a bark or growl but it was definitely not even an issue at all! The neighbors were very sweet. I was able to chat with them and even chatted with Ellen and Andy a few times. Very warm and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again. Great spot! Lots of personality and culture! Love it.
