An exceptional stay. The cottage is beautiful — peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. What made this experience stand out were the hosts. Jim and Deborah are remarkably kind and accommodating. When the cottage was booked for part of my trip, they went above and beyond to help arrange alternate accommodations. Outstanding hospitality and a memorable experience. 10/10.

We would have moved in if we could have. The hosts provided not just a great stay, but an unforgettable experience! We will not forget that final night on the verandah, enjoying the warm breeze, lightening, and a background of smooth jazz piano emanating from their main house (glass of bubbles in hand of course).They had gone above and beyond in luxuries and detail, even so far as to provide freshly baked treats whilst i was enjoying the sunshine in the courtyard. Dont be deterred by the close proximity of the hosts, they were very respectful of space and privacy and i wish they'd been around a bit more to continue the amazing conversations and stories they shared about Little Milton.Super comfortable beds, lovely hot shower that didnt run out of water, everything we needed in the kitchen was also provided. The property itself was within walking distance to everywhere, parking onsite and the tasteful mix of the old and the new made for such an enjoyable stay with an air of history around us.We will be coming back and cant wait to see the hosts and the additions theyve made to their own property!Thank you so much for your kindness.Jane, Dean, Annie and Gabe
