Rumors you might hear about the cottage:

Burke's Bounty: Locals whisper that Ella's first successful dish as a cook was so delightful it brought tears to a stoic knight, softening his heart.
The Hearth's Whisper: Elderly patrons claim the fire's crackle in the cottage speaks of the town's history to those who listen closely on silent nights.
The Cured Meats Mystery: Rumor has it the technique used for curing meats in the rafters was passed down from an enigmatic traveler who was a master of preservation.
