The Caddy's Cottage

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Nice place. Perfect place to stay with your pet. The only thing to consider is that if you want to go to the patio from inside the house, you have to go through one of the rooms. If not, you have to leave the house and enter through the outside door. But for me, it was not a big deal.
