Very clean and comfortable. There is WIFI albeit a little slow which is to be expected due to where the cottage is. It suited us for what we needed. It was a lot bigger than we expected from the photos. The dog had a good time running around outside the cottage and popping in and out of various doors. Sat several evenings watching the sun go down. Woke up to a different scene through the window every day, depending on the weather. Short walk to a rocky cove and coastal walk. Various sheep and cows for neighbours. Would definitely recommend.
