Bucolic Setting with Gorgeous Views
The cottage sits near a regional road in a bucolic setting with gorgeous views and neighboring pastures. It combines the best of old and new and was renovated by its current owner, John Knee, who lives there when it is not rented. The house is well equipped, decorated with found seaside art and John’s photographs, and includes most modern cons (no clothes dryer).
The cottage is 200 years old, which translates into smallish bedrooms. There are two beds, one with a firm mattress in the larger bedroom and a the other with a softer mattress. The one bathroom is upstairs between the bedrooms. The bath / electric shower combo has a window with a pleasant view. The bath is very relaxing.
There is a rather steep staircase, which could be problematic for small children and adults with mobility issues. The one
drawback for us (or draw for some) is the lack of phone service (Vodaphone & OS-2 for our two mobiles) in the area and occasionally poor Internet. John is on WhatsApp and we found texting on the app was the best way to contact him.
There is a space for one car between the stone pillars and near the cottage, just beyond where the owner parks his car, which is closer to the road. Maneuvering parking can be tricky due to the bend in the road which creates a blindspot.
There is a rotary washing line for outdoor clothes drying. We had beautiful weather so that worked out well, and we appreciated John’s providing extra clothes pegs.
John is a very welcoming and responsive host and addressed our requests very quickly. He is a local and an excellent resource on touring. Mark and Jon at the nearby Engine Inn—highly recommended—were also quite helpful.
We had a wonderful time and would certainly stay again, especially if mobile phone service or a landline were made available.
