Karen left us some delicious truffles and bubbly which was thoughtful! Communication with Karen was great from the beginning. Pictures doesn’t do the cottage justice it was much bigger than I thought. Unfortunately my husband and I caught a cold so we weren’t feeling up for exploring but our friends did and lived Rye. The views were picturesque but when it’s windy you know about it! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Karen ##### Rochelle C.
