So cute and great use of space! The bed on a mezzanine was a bit hot though. Just one other thing, it's great that we could take our dog, but unfortunately their was a gate on the terrace with a big space at the bottom for him to get through! I think this needs to be addressed if the owner allows dogs. On the whole we loved staying in the cottage!
