Our 2 night stay at Rose Cottage surpassed our expectations. The grounds and cottage were peaceful, pristine and exactly as described. Our host Michelle was warm and welcoming and went out of her way to ensure that our stay was nothing less than exceptional. The homemade bread that greeted us on our arrival was delicious and the resident miniature ponies provided a wonderful experience for us and our children. Fynn the Labrador was super affectionate and loved the kids.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Really beautiful place. Check in was easy; it was convenient that we could open the driveway gate using our phone! Michelle was super responsive and helpful. The bathroom is lovey, the shower is great! Good having a washer and dryer. Super clean. A second set of towels were provided which was really nice because my partner and I have really long hair, so the smaller towels are never big enough to dry it 😆

We stayed there on our honeymoon. It was a paradise for us animal lovers! Not only did we stay there, but we also had the opportunity to interact with animals, plant a memorial tree, and enjoy the open-air bath under the stars. It was full of memorable moments! We’d love to come back on our anniversary! Thank you!
