Cottage was a lovely little place though mirrors bed head could do with a clean, dead cochroachers and flys not a good look, drive way and garden over grown not good for classic cars. Tree leading to house needs cutting back .

Cottage had not been serviced by the time of our check-in at 2pm. The cleaner arrived soon after the owner was contacted. The issue for our group of 70+ year olds was the first step of the entry steps. Too high off the ground to go up and down. One of us misjudged it, landing heavily & strained his ankle.

Ambrosia Winter Retreat
Our first winter rental at Ambrosia Cottage and thrilled to find the woodshed packed to the roof with dry firewood. The log burner is super effective and makes for a wonderful atmosphere. Playing CDs that correspond to to the owners framed ticket stub display is also pretty damn awesome!
