John and Sarah were very welcoming. The location was ideal for a relaxing time and the cottage fitted out in a style that suited its history. We enjoyed our week exploring the local area and chilling out on the veranfah overlooking the river.

We loved the privacy, and the park like setting. The host John was very helpful. Replaced the washing machine and fixed the temperature on the hot water heater. Absolutely loved the fresh lemons and grapefruit. Thank you!

We had a very relaxing stay. The cottage is set in a beautiful rural area and yet only 45 minutes from the lake which is an absolute must to visit. Our only comment is to use caution with the kitchen taps as the hot water is very hot.

So peaceful and quiet! Great location, a bit remote for some, but we loved it.
