“The cottages here provide a truly restful escape, tucked away within truly magnificent grounds that invite exploration. I found the living spaces remarkably well-appointed and comfortable, with a thoughtful touch evident in every detail, from the ample log supply to the quality linens. It's a place where peace is palpable, yet convenient access to the coast and local towns is readily available.”
