After days travelling far and wide, it was a pleasure to return to the well appointed, warm, comfortable Ebenezer . As a family of four plus dog the cottage had everything we required.

We appreciated the decent beds and bedding. We didnât cook much but we found what we needed in the kitchen (with the exception of oven gloves). The weather was starting to get chilly when we were there, and the cottage was warm and comfortable. There isnât parking immediately outside, but itâs very close so wasnât an issue - and itâs possible to drive up for loading/unloading.
