Lovely, rural and pet friendly cottage in a secluded area. It had everything we needed away from home; from cotton pads, through can opener to hot water bottles. It was warm and very clean. The main attraction was sitting in the window and watching wildlife. As the area has zero light pollution, the night sky watching is on another level! Plenty of beautiful walks and hikes within walking distance, we had no need for our car all 3 days we've been there. Gene and Peter, the owners, were so welcoming and thoughtful. Loved it and hope to come back one day. Thank You!
