Disliked: Location
The property was very cool with all the memorabilia, incredibly clean. The 2 bedrooms were very tiny couldnt put luggage in and the bathroom very small but clean but I must say the shower was quite challenging being so small. The town was quite small and with nothing around but gives you a very quiet and relaxing ambiance.

Perfect rustic cottage

The cottage was very cute and rustic. It's perfect for someone who loves to fish. We would love to stay here again in the future.
