First time I have stopped here. Very clean and the host Patricia was very welcoming. I initially booked one night and ended up stopping four. Very well priced and will definitely be stopping again when working in that area again.

Avoid this place as an airbnb. Filthy and the property and information given is false. Also stand your ground if asked for extra money! The response we had are lies and fabrication and desperation. We won't go into the to and fro, but can screenshot all conversations of the delusional host if anyone wants them. Don't give up on airbnb, our next property was lovely and the host spot on.

Our staff stayed at Love and Peace Cottage for a two nights and they ended asking to extend for another three days.The place is meticulously warm, with clean rooms , bathroom and the facilities readily available plus Great break fast .But the highlight for the staff was the Manager of the place , Patricia who was described as extremely helpful, caring and understanding.

Having stayed here many times and had use of the different rooms, it's fair to say that the balance between price, comfort and location is spot on.That said, this can be said for many places - it's the owner that really makes it. Pat cannot do enough for you and it's because of this as to why you become a returning customer. You are treated like family and in a world where division is rife, it's a nice to be treated like a human and not just a paying customer.
