Beautiful cottage for our 10 night stay. Immaculately clean, with all the comforts of home - and then some. Spacious bedroom. Great fully equipped kitchen, with essentials like coffee, filters, teas and spices. Nice bathroom with a modern shower. Dining table along with all furniture and furnishings are top notch!
Kuerig for either pods or carafe
Great queen size bed. (Camera angle makes it look small)
