  Wonderful retreat

  Left on 07/18/2010 for a stay in July 2010
  
  

  We had a lovely few days at Maple arbour. It was an extremely comfortable cottage for us all to stay in and the bake oven was a new experience and a lot of fun to use. I found booking it very easy and all of the service was wonderful. It's very good value and a great place for a couple or family to stay looking for a quiet retreat.
