Perfect location for hiking some of the famous peaks. We enjoyed the comfort of the cottage and its beautiful surroundings. Location is convenient for excursions, grocery shopping and restaurants.

Two singles deemed uncomfortable. Due to lack of seal on toilet door you can hear each other using it anywhere in the property. Had to play music to drown it out. Wood burner and comfy couches were excellent. Filtered water tap was amazing. Salt, pepper and a bit of cooking oil would have been appreciated. Lovely setting. Lots of large spiders in the house! Overall happy, but maybe lacked a bit of TLC.

We felt things just looked a little tired. Also the email about check out and how to leave the property was not opened until we were on our way home. I think something in the property telling you how to leave it would be beneficial.
