Rustic charmer
Lovely old school cottage under very old and majestic oak trees overlooking a vineyard. We stayed at Suite 1, but be aware that they rent the 2nd floor (with exterior stairs and entrance) as Suite 2. We went during winter and there is not central heating, but they did have plug in floor heaters. There is a pot belly stove and plenty of wood, but we couldn't get it to stay lit. I am thankful that I brought my own cozy blanket. The first morning, my husband took a very cold shower. He found the water heater and adjusted the heat. The second day, cold again. He checked the pilot light and it was off. He is handy so easier for him to fix versus calling PR Vacation Rentals to send someone out. The cottage is tidy, but some of the windows do not have curtains. With not having central heating, it would be nice to have curtains to retain the heat of the portables. One of our wine glasses had lipstick on it and one of our bowls was dirty. Other dishes seemed to have a bit of oil residue, most likely from a guest not using hot water. The TV satelite went out, but all was well due to their DVD library. Old school for sure. All that being said, I would stay there again, but would tell others that it is considered a glamping experience.
