Peaceful getaway

We really enjoyed the Inkeepers cottage, it was clean and spacious and we loved the view. The grounds are interesting to walk with all the sculptures and my daughter loved the lawn games and pool. We would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness

very enjoyable, good host

had a great time. super-responsive and courteous host. property was in good shape, particularly given the challenging period with the virus. some local businesses seemed under heavy strain, particularly restaurants, so recommend being prepared to self-sustain in terms of food, particularly if you have young kids, which this property's amenities accommodate well. Only ding is that the the unit does not have a burn pit, which in covid-land takes on greater importance.
