Very comfortable throughout, we were really able to relax. The balcony was a wonderful idea, and we couldn't get tired of the view, even in the rain. The owners of the cottage welcomed us and we're responsive to one concern. Have already recommended it! One thing we as "tourists" would have liked is a hint or two as where to go, the lonely planet book was vague at best. We found our way round, but fear we might have missed some hidden gem.
