Mr. McCormicks is a fabulous cottage for up to 4 people on this small complex. It provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved our separate ensures and the convenient lavatory downstairs. The kitchen was specious and we had lovely dining experiences together at the round table. and the washing up was done by the dishwasher. There Read morewas ample space in the living room and TVs in the bedrooms too if you wanted to have your own space. The nightlights in the hall were thoughtful. We loved the flagstone floors and the big windows in the open plan living area. We did not use the barbecue provided, but it looked new and clean. We all enjoyed our visit - 4 adults in their late 50s and mid 60s. Hide

Mr McCormicks is a wonderful cottage with enough room for 4 people and a dog, perhaps 2 even. The enclosed rear yard and open front courtyard are perfect to chase or avoid the sun and the whole site is immaculate.
