Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers repeatedly commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and well-presented, which suggests a high standard of hygiene and tidiness.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and scenic, with stunning views and a quiet setting. One review mentioned difficulty with directions, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback about the location.
The cottage is generally praised for being comfortable and cosy. However, there is a mention of the sofa and mattresses being uncomfortable, indicating that while comfort is high, there is room for improvement.
While the reviews speak positively about the overall experience, there is insufficient detail to accurately score the facilities and maintenance. The lack of Wi-Fi is noted, but not enough information is provided on other facilities to give a fair score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highlighted by personal touches such as a warm welcome and homemade apple pie. While these gestures are greatly appreciated by guests, it is politely noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Rachel loved the Apple Pie best for me it was the views of Tieve Baun and the total silence of the nights. Lots to do nearby though I could not find out how to get up Tieve Baun.
