There were freshly baked blueberry muffins, food in the fridge, and a fully equipped kitchen. The hosts not only provided information about the area, they invited us to join them with a glass of wine in the evening and a barbecue on Sunday night. The place is quiet and beautiful -- truly a garden cottage. Add in the swimming pool, friendly dogs, a neighborhood which was great for walks, hosts who were super friendly but not intrusive, and you have a fabulous place to stay.
