I've traveled to a bunch of random places over the last few months and this is the nicest place I've stayed - the cottage was pretty amazing, breakfast was great, and Obadiah was always helpful if I had questions about traveling places, etc. - I wish all the places I've stayed had been this great!

Warm host, amazing food, and flawless service. The bonfire nights and breakfast by the gazebo made it feel like home away from home. Highly recommend you try them out!
