ReannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

10/10 would recommend to stay at Collombatti cottage! Kelly was a great host and let us check in early. She was very responsive to our requests and even bought down more fire wood for us.

Little Phoranna

DianaRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Gorgeous spot that is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. This is probably one of the best AirBnBs I've stayed in so far. The design of the cabin is cozy and very functional, and the setting is quite, peaceful and relaxing. The hosts provide everything you need to have a wonderful stay - they even built a fire ready to be lit in the fireplace. Unfortunately we only stayed a day. I would definitely come back here and stay longer!
