Not as private as indicated in photos. WiFi was good. The place was damp and the musty smell was obvious. The door was very difficult to open and close, damp again? We had to request towels and toilet paper.

The downside of the cottage for us was that it needed a deep clean as it smelt musty on entering the cottage. The bed framework on the king size bed could do with a good clean. The other problem for us being a mature couple was the lack of direct access from the car to the cottage for unloading and loading the car.
