Every morning we had breakfast on the deck.The dog Pudge was there to greet us when we arrived and every morning when we opened the kitchen door, she is very friendly and very obedient.We stayed for 34 days as we were 'between houses' and this place was for us just the right tonic to relax after a stressful event of selling our house and finding a new one. Fay and David are very welcoming and friendly.Highly recommended. ![Good Morning Pudge!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d98c11a7-62b3-4735-9d24-4b4f5a010e3a-1766109098383.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from cottage front deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/293a7d18-e0fd-49a3-9bf1-707f4fafd257-1766109238461.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Irma v.

We were at the property about 5 min outside after arriving at cottage everything open and dog inside. We sat outside till she case over and rude to our dog and us. No key. We left after we talked and went to rent another place for 2 nights and she will not give a full refund because she cares about money instead of people.

We ate the most gorgeous Stanly Prune Plums which we’re waiting for us on the kitchen table and ate our breakfast sitting on the porch enjoying the tranquility.
