My husband and I were looking for a getaway during the week of Thanksgiving, but we got much more than we could have imagined.
The cottage interior is a good-size space that still feels ultra-cozy. Our evenings were spent dining by candlelight, followed by snuggling next to the fireplace with a cheesy Christmas movie on the television. The kitchen is well-stocked with all a chef, or amateur home-cooks like us, would need to successfully create a hearty spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bedroom linens and mattress were very comfortable allowing for well-rested nights that we were longing for on our escape from the corporate world.
The cottage is surrounded by rolling landscapes of emerald green, speckled with the black and white of dairy cows, framed by breathtaking cliffs and the stunning coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The cottage is the perfect distance from nearby towns offering the peace and quiet of a rural property but the comfort of food and drink a short drive away.
Our stay was highlighted by the hospitality of our lovely hosts, Deirdre and John. Dierdre baked some delightful bread as a welcome treat and stocked the kitchen with fresh eggs and milk. We spent an evening with John to go behind the scenes of the dairy farm. While us big city folk weren’t much help to the dairy operations, we really enjoyed hearing from John, a fourth-generation dairy farmer.
We would absolutely recommend, and we will be back for another visit!
