    It is a wonderful spot, totally quiet with beautiful views. The cottage has lovely beds with soft duvets, blankets and sheets and fluffy towels and bathmats. It is soo nice to have a bath in the warm bathroom. The shower pressure could be better though. Having 5 rooms is nice for a family of 3-4, everyone can find their own place to relax. The kitchen is fully equiped and a small problem with the dishwasher was solved immediately.

    The cottage was left very clean for us. The beds and sofas were comfy, though we would welcome an extra small coffee table that could be placed at the end of the couch and also a standard lamp in the dining room for gloomy morning breakfasts when the main light is too bright. We may well return at a future date as the cottage is very convenient for visiting our son at his university. Many thanks.
