The location was great for visiting the nearby wineries. The only complaint I have is about the television. Since we are non-streaming television viewers, the selection of what we could watch was extremely limited. We would prefer to be able to watch local news and sports.

Lovely cottage

The Ash Cottage is exactly as it was pictured and described. It was a fair price and perfect for 2 couples, close to wineries and other things to do. Would definitely recommend this place!
