While some maintenance issues are noted, the charm of the cottage and its proximity to local amenities often outweigh these concerns.

Facilities

The cottage is well-equipped, with a good kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. However, several reviews cite issues with appliances, lack of instructions, and maintenance needs, such as problems with the shower temperature and TV, which affects the score.

Thoughtfulness
