The Garden Cottage was a very cozy retreat for my husband, myself and my mother to spend the weekend while attending a family wedding. We found the cottage very clean with lovely cottage decor containing all the necessary amenities. Surrounded by beautiful forest and morning birdsong, it was a nice quiet getaway we all thoroughly enjoyed.

What a wonderful stay- this place is situated in a forest haven of magic at the top of a hill, moss covered rocks and trees abound. Loved how much light there was inside, beautiful architecture and it feels like a home, not like a rental. Thanks for all of the nice touches! Would love to be back!

Lovely little cottage. Upstairs loft bedroom could be challenging for older guests. Would have liked a large pot for cooking pasta, and an outdoor bar-b-q. Ideal for short stays.
