De cottage zelf is heel mooi. De hygiene laat te wensen over. De vloeren waren vuil, de matrassen van de bedden in de tweede slapkamer zijn aan vervanging toe. Voor 4 personen is het servies ontoereikend en wat er is, is beschadigd. In de badkamer is er buiten de douche, een erg klein wasbakje (afmeting van een een wasbakje dat je in een toilet verwacht.)De verwarming in de (huis)kamer deed het niet. Nergens een beschrijving te vinden hoe de diverse apparatuur werkt (of niet werkt). Cottages.com zou in hun bevestiging aan de klant moeten opnemen waar het sleutelkastje hangt (korte beschrijving van de werking ervan wordt op prijs gesteld.) Wij hebben er een week doorgebracht en niet één keer is de eigenaar even langs geweest om te vragen van hoe of wat. Jammer.De ligging is rustig en als bovenstaande zaken worden verbeterd, is het een leuke gelegenheid om ja vakantie door te brengen.
