    “Jim met us on our arrival a gave us a tour which was clean and comfortable and had everything we and the dogs needed.”

    Good enclosed gardens and paddock. Plenty of logs (free) for the much needed fire in November. Unfortunately we had to a few days early due to ill health. Ideal base for visiting other areas. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Thank you for your good review. It is so nice to hear from guests who enjoyed their stay in our cottage. I was sorry I didn’t get to meet you and your dogs but will look forward to welcoming all of you if you visit Loanview again. I do hope you are both keeping well. Good health to all your family in 2025. Jim&Pamela Property Owner
