So quiet, you will see no one your entire stay (we didn’t anyway).The cottage holds so much history and the river at the doorstep is so peaceful first thing in the morning, with only the native birds giving their awakening calls.If you’re looking for peace and harmony, and reconnecting with each other, this is your place to be. You will find a spotlessly clean home for your stay with a comfortable bed and everything you need in the kitchen.Enjoy! ##### Bronwyn G.
