Not only was the cottage as described and as expected, but Carol put lots of extra touches to make the cottage a home away from home. For example, she had some snacks and drinks available for us until we were able to get to the store and she provided ear plugs and an eye mask in case we needed those items. The private garden was very nice and we enjoyed watching the wildlife each morning while drinking our coffees. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and we will definitely return in the future.
