The Bath

Designed with hospitality in mind, the Bath is more than a restroom—it’s a small gesture of care. Thoughtfully stocked with curated essentials, it offers guests a private space to refresh, whether for a quick touch-up or a quiet pause. A simple detail that reflects the care and intention behind every gathering at the Cottage, it allows hosts to relax knowing every comfort has been considered.
