My wife and I feel so lucky to have stayed at Michelle and Pete’s beautiful, serene and peaceful slice of paradise. Not only is the cottage a comfortable idyll, the modern fit-out combined with the traditional furnishings were absolutely gorgeous. We had an unforgettable stay and will certainly back, our only regret is we didn’t book for longer! We so loved the little personal touches (I won’t spoil it). That really doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re grateful to have enjoyed such luxury! Thank you so much Michelle and Pete 😊

Rose cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The property is beautiful and the cottage was absolutely spotless when we arrived. The outdoor bath was great for relaxing and stargazing, and Michelle and Pete are great hosts. Overall a great stay – highly recommend this AirBnB!
