Cottage is in a great location and reasonably priced for the time of year. It is very comfortable with a good shower. We felt the kitchen was a little under equipped and could have done with more guidance in terms of recycling etc Storage was excellent and the cottage was warm enough. Overall, it was a great place to stay in an amazing location.
