This is a great place to stay. It’s a short distance away from town and sits by itself on a nicely secluded knoll. Nice sunsets and views of the bay. The house is well cared for and has a nice kitchen.

Loved everything about Hill Cottage! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, and the fireplace was so nice to come home to on our rainy days! The washer and drying rack also much appreciated.
