I was going to write “no need to bring anything but your toothbrush” but then we found toothbrushes provided also. There’s almost nothing that you need to bring to this very comfortable cottage and Jon and May are such generous hosts if there was something you needed I get the feeling they’d be delighted to help.
As a family traveling from only a short distance away for a fun weekend, this place was an excellent choice. The views and environment are gorgeous from sunrise to sunset, it’s a fun place for kids to explore and best of all are the tame flock of hens, roosters, geese and ducks. Absolutely magical for my child to interact with animals who have been treated with kindness respect and love their whole lives. Hand feeding them was a really special experience and it was such a privilege.
There are lots of beautiful areas to hike nearby but if like us, your child wants to be with the birds all day it’s just a lovely relaxing place to be. The pond is charming and the deck off the cottage is perfect for enjoying the scene.
Because so much is provided in the cottage it’s a super easy option for a quick getaway with minimal packing. There’s a washer and dryer so no need to even bring many clothes. The two bathrooms are very fun and luxurious and the kitchen is a joy to be in. The freshest eggs I’ve ever had were waiting for us in the fully stocked fridge.
Thank you Jon and May for a really memorable and lovely stay. We hope to come back next time we need a fun relaxing break away from home.
