The cottage's hillside garden is a delightful treat, offering a pollinator's oasis where you can relax and reconnect with nature while stepping down to the shoreline on the natural stone steps. Take in the vibrant flowers and lush greenery while you let the sounds of nature melt away the stresses of everyday life.
