My husband Scott and I live at the cottage, so we can be at hand as much or as little as the guests would like! If ever we are away for your visit, we have a key code system, so that guests may come and go as they like. We are on hand to provide any local advise you may need and to tell you our favourate spots should you need it. You don't need to see us or hear from us unless you want to.
