This was a great way to experience how life was 160 years ago. Even though the house has had many changes over the years you can still see many original parts. Note these old farm houses never had proper foundations and were never straight plumb and level. This is an important part of our history - don't expect too much. The owners did their best to make the house comfortable without making it all new. We enjoyed our stay thank you

We found this little cottage cosy and comfortable and was close to shops. This 1850 home is decorated with detail to suit the period, and it felt like we'd stepped back in time. With the low price and tranquil area, the cottage was a great choice for our stay.

We had a productive weekend working in this old-world cottage in a quiet location. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, heater made the winter evenings cosy, and beds were very comfortable. Not recommended for active kids as there are lots of hanging breakables.
