We had an amazing long weekend at Calf House cottage. Sharon and Steve couldn't do enough for us. Our kids loved helping out feeding the calves and collecting the eggs (which were delicious!) The cottage was spacious and comfortable with everything we could have needed. In a great location only a short drive from lots of things to do. Couldn't recommend this cottage enough...we will be back!
