Reviewed Jul 8, 2025To only be able to rate Palm Tree Cottage out of 10 is a massive disservice to the amount of care, love and comfort Karen & her husband have put in. This is truly the best place we have ever stayed at. The hosts are considerate, kind and helpful. I literally just needed to carry my clothes because everything else was provided! The decor is superb ( will actually be modeling my future house after this). Thank you Karen for a wonderful stay - we will definitely be back. And also , the neighbours cat visited us - highlight of the night!
