"What a cozy, homey cottage! Liz has done a wonderful job of updating it without losing any of the charm of its 200 year old history. Every little detail has been thoughtfully provided, and Liz herself couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. The location is wonderful too--dinner at the nearby Edinbane Lodge was outstanding and the Edinbane Pottery is well worth checking out. I highly recommend this property."
