A beautiful cottage, an ode to the history of the area. Everything was amazing. It was all the little things that create the experience and comfort. Will definitely stay again.
It is a lovely cottage, very clean great fire place which we lit as the nights were quite cold and warmed the cottage up.the property is in a very pretty scenic area o Pitt Town.

Thank you for having us. 😊🐶🐶
The cottage holds so much charm and appeal, the hosts were wonderful, lovely people. I would totally recommend staying there, the cottage and Pitt Town is definitely worth the visit.
We had a very cute, cosy, and homely stay exactly what we were hoping for. The property offers stunning views, especially at sunset, which made the experience even more special. A big thank you to Annette and Jeremy for sharing such a beautiful and peaceful place with us. We truly enjoyed our time here!
