AllieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a wonderful stay at Ian and Lois’s self-contained guest suite. Every detail was carefully thought out, and the space was spotless and extremely comfortable. The amenities were exactly what we needed and more! Their guest guide was incredibly helpful, especially the recommendations for dog-friendly restaurants, which we loved. The location was also perfect, with such an easy and scenic drive into the city centre. Ian and Lois were fantastic hosts, welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Cosy Village Retreat | Pub•Log Burner•Patio Nook

KevinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved the cottage. On the area: - fabulous local pub doing great food a literally a stone throws away - a ton of stuff to do within driving distance. We have a 3 & a 6 year old and we didn't scratch the surface of what there was in our 2 days. The local train museum (which is free) kept both our kids entertained for half a day alone - outstanding. Kimberley as a host was extremely responsive and her and Gary have very clearly put a lot of thought into the cottage - so many thoughtful touches! Wouldn't want to ruin it but as an example Kimberley even put out some age appropriate books for our kids along with some torches for some lights off reading by their beds. We'll definitely book again next time we're in the area
