My family of four stayed at the cottage over New Years Eve. The location is nice, and convenient to stores and restaurants. Also, the host was very prompt about communicating and quickly provided some missing items for the kitchen and rectified an issue we had with the hot water.However, this house is not ideal for a stay during the cold seasons. The house is drafty with many old windows that do not retain heat. Even with the furnace running almost nonstop, we were wearing sweaters the whole stay. Throw blankets in the living room or a working fireplace would certainly help. The first floor bathroom was drafty and cold with a leaky window by the shower. So we all used the tiny closet shower upstairs.The kitchen was adequate, but not stocked with basic spices or oil. It seemed like only the bare essentials were provided, but really no thoughtful touches that would have made the stay more enjoyable.Overall, it was not a bad stay. But I would probably not return.
