"Simply put, this is as good as it gets when it comes to renting holiday homes. Stunning property, stunning location, incredibly well specified inside and out, and there’s simply nothing additional you could possibly want or need whilst staying there... All of this is on top of the fact that Andrea (the owner) is an absolute delight to deal with. Simply doesn’t get any better."

"We had a great stay at this property with our immediate family and our two small children. Andrea the homeowner is extremely accommodating and very prompt in her replies. The property is gorgeous, they have really done an amazing job maintaining the historic nature of the property with all modern upgrades you would require. The pond and the garage were perfect to keep our children entertained for hours. Further, the fire pit, hot tub and swimming/kayaking amenities are really nice additions, which we all enjoyed thoroughly. I would highly recommend this property to get away and relax."

"Our two families enjoyed our stay at the Cottage enormously -- it was exactly as photographed, if not even cuter. Beautifully decorated interior with a very modern kitchen and gorgeous bathrooms. We swam, kayaked, played pool and ping-pong, hot-tubbed, and made 'smores in the fire pit. The beds were comfortable and the towels plentiful, and the quiet was amazing; I miss hearing the pond water lapping on the little beach. I would highly recommend this property for a get-away to a peaceful, secluded, and charming house!"
