10/10 Excellent

We rented the cottage, very spacious with a big yard by ourselves. With the clear sky that night, we do star gazing at the yard and it was an unforgettable scene - so awesome! One unfortunate moment was that my girls were excited to read that they can feed to pigs there but ended up can’t for some reasons but other than that everyone was happy with the stay! Love the plants/flowers planted there, so beautiful and feel very homey!
