The Gardeners cottage was great for our family. Very spacious, we were five and the cottage had so much room, more than we had expected. The grounds are really nice, with all kinds of little trails for exploring. James was a great host as well, clear communication in the days leading up to our visit and was also available during our stay. We really appreciated the down time at this beautiful location.
