“This family country home was everything we hoped for. Comfortable, clean and quaint. Highly recommend!”

“The communication was excellent. ”

“We had a lovely stay! The cottage was very cozy! Wonderful location! Wish we could have stayed longer! Paul, the host, responded to our queries almost immediately! ”
