I wish we could have stayed longer! I visited for a few nights, just me and my dog, and the cottage was absolutely perfect. Upon arrival, it was bright and clean and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook (I got takeout from local seafood restaurants half the time, cooked the rest). The bed was very comfortable, and I slept wonderfully. We walked down to the lighthouse (only a few doors!) each morning and evening to watch the sunrise and sunset. There's also a beach by the harbor nearby where I took my dog swimming each day. It's easily walkable from the house unless you're an arthritic 12 year old retriever, but there is parking next to it if need be.
Diane is such a kind host! In a hurry to go take photos of the supermoon (huge and pink!) over the water, I locked myself out on evening, and she responded immediately to my panicked text.
I'm in the middle of studying for my boards, so I was very glad to have solid internet access while there, and I must admit that as someone who does own a tv, I was rather fascinated by the whole Roku thing and probably watched more television than I should have! But, studying, reading, or watching tv, the cottage was a wonderful place to lounge on the sofa after our walks, quiet and peaceful. I really hope to go back soon!
As I said, my dog is older and so I'd asked Diane beforehand about accessibility (he can't climb stairs). So, in case anyone is wondering about that, the cottage is pretty accessible to someone with mobility issues. There's only one step up from the porch to the cottage and one step from the hallway down into the bedroom.
So thank you so much, Diane, for letting me and Henry come visit! It's such a beautiful place, and I really appreciate being about to bring my big baby with me!
