Cute historic cottage
The cottage was cute with a nicely appointed kitchen and bathroom and lovely towels and bed- linen. It was disappointing not to have more photos of the spaces, in particular the master bedroom. More firewood and cushions would have helped.

Quaint and quiet
Jo is the most amazing host - nothing is a problem and no question one too many.
The house was exceptionally clean, Jo provided extra bedding for the fold-out bed in the second bedroom as the main bed was a little on the small size for me and my 6'4" husband.
Great location a stone's throw from the river, in a very quiet established neighborhood, a couple of minutes walk to the old part of town, but a good walk or drive to the main shopping area.
Recommend if you want your own space with character.

Suited us perfectly for a week while cycling and wine tasting. Very cozy with log fire as the frosts had started. Just a short walk to cafes in the historic precinct.
