Comfortable staying
I think the cottage was a bit small for 2 adults & 2 children, but very cozy and nice.

Lovely location
It was very compact but very clean. There could have been more comfortable pillows and bed. The bath water was not as hot as we would have liked but we enjoyed the peace and tranquility
