One reason perhaps is the Cottage itself.
Yes, it’s luxuriously comfortable, with its Rimu interior and carpeted throughout. Downstairs there’s a large lounge, writing desk, dining area and full kitchen facilities including a dishwasher. For entertainment there’s a stereo, Sky television, DVD player, a small library and to keep you connected – high-speed internet.
Upstairs there are two identical double bedrooms with super-king size beds that can be split into two large singles if required. Both bedrooms have rural views, a large leather arm-chair to relax and plenty of space to unpack.
Guests seem to be happy to stay longer and longer, reading all the books from the library, updating their social-media posts and generally lazing the day away sleeping in the super-sized beds.
Surely our guests would get tired of that…
