Kindly Note: Due to the unique nature of the property and home, we’re unable to accommodate children or animals. This rental is located on our private residence where we raise and care for breeding Corgis.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause - and please know this is not a decision we take lightly.

Summary: My husband and I had the most amazing stay at the cottage! Ellen, Drew and the sweet corgis gave us the best welcome, and they made us feel right at home! Even with a few mechanical-maintenance issues (that were completely out of their control), I must say they never once stopped trying to fix the problem and they went above and beyond to make it right by us. Our comfort and satisfaction were Ellen’s top priority! The serene and peaceful setting, paired with the adorable corgis and Ellen’s great company made it a wonderful getaway for us. Thank you, Ellen- your kindness and your hospitality were so appreciated and we can’t wait to return!
