just what we needed
The cabin is cozy and hadeverything that we needed, it was close to town ( greytown) and on the same street as the big supermarket which had everything that we needed.
I loved the litre of milk in the fridge as I am a big milk and tea drinker and a coffee plunger !! the couch was comfy and we slept like logs after the wedding. the bed was firmer than we are used to but we slept well. thank you Kathy for a lovely quiet spot under some lovely trees all to ourselves.
From the photo we thought that we were up a long gravel drive in the middle of a field. perhaps a photo from teh cottage to the road would be better,

Fabulous Greytown chalet
I really loved this property. I loved how peaceful it was, I could hear the birds singing and was amongst the trees. I loved that I knew how to get hold of the owner but that they left me alone to just rest and recuperate. I had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a short stay at this place. Sadly the loud music next door meant the quiet we wanted didn’t happen.

All good especially misplacing the key which Kathy dealt with fast ?? Thanks Richard
The peacefulness surroubds you in a beItiful fully equipped cabin/cottage. So close to town that you walk everywhere.
Checkout the medicine vabinet in the bathroom too. These hosts have thought of everything.
Great place. Definitely syayong again.

Great location
Nice spot to stay for convenience. Mouldy bathroom. Only 1 towel each for a three night stay. Had to wash the glasses before we could use them - lipstick from previous use on them. Pretty garden but very unkempt. Unsafe outdoor furniture. Ok place to stay but not what I would consider good value for money. Very expensive for what you got.
Nice little place with convenient location. Clean and tidy though a few cobwebs in out of reach places. A couple of wineglasses would have been a nice addition. Thanks.

Perfect for what we needed!
This cottage was just what we needed for a one night stay. Absolutely does what it says on the tin! Very much appreciated being able to have our well behaved dog stay with us. Very firm bed but we like that…can’t stand ‘roll together’!
Great communication from Kathy and very easy check in process. Great location. Easy walk into town and nice and quiet.
Thanks very much.
