What a fantastic discovery! The cottage was impeccably clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The lovely front patio provided a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views while watching the sunset. We had no issues parking the car outside the property, and the communication with the owner, Meryl, was excellent. We would definitely love to return!
