La Rocque Cottage - Pretty, quiet and secluded. Short walk to the Square.

Great spot, just a short walk from town. The house was incredible and hosts were amazing, even making sure the house was heated for our late night arrival. The water pressure was incredible too. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing weekend
Megan is an excellent host. The house was warm and ready to go which was lovely on such a wet and miserable night. Loved having a fire which Megan had set up for us. Great spaces, 3 good size bedrooms and in the summer, the deck and backyard would be perfect for outdoor dinners/bbq.
