My boyfriend booked this stay for my surprise birthday getaway and it was beautiful. We loved the cultural and historical significance of the cottage and the decor was stunning. We loved the hot tub out the back, it was private and peaceful. The hosts were very helpful and the parking was so handy. We ordered an Indian Takeout and it didn't take long to arrive at all. We hadn't even finished our stay and were already talking about coming back. Its such a perfect getaway to be in nature.

Don’t go

Property doesn’t want to take any responsibility for covid I would stay away as I’m sure there would be people the would go ahead and stay if they had it, I contacted them 2 days before and no response plus hotels.com could get in contact with them either. I wanted to stay away a I tested positive.
