Absolutely amazing stay! There was delicious baked bread and wine for us upon arrival. The home was lovely— well stocked, super clean, and the beds/linens very comfortable! The hosts and their dogs were so welcoming and they even provided extra firewood so we could enjoy the night outside. Highly recommend!!

The entire experience was such a pleasure. We were made to feel at home immediately with fresh baked bread and blueberry jam. Everything was pristine and the cottage is adorable. We enjoyed the warm welcome from Hamish, Alexis and their beautiful fur babies.
