“Extremely charming place with gorgeous views and and very rustic feeling cottage.”
Place was very clean when we arrived and we did our best to keep it clean and tidy during our stay. Was fully stocked with all the things one would expect (cutlery, cooking utensils etc...) as well some utensils for baking if you wanted.
There was helpful guide book with information on surrounding areas as well things to do, and any information one would need for their stay.
We did have an issue with warm water but we were able to call someone to get it looked and they fixed it the same day we called. Also, the guide mentioned different coloured bags for separating any waste, but these bags were not provided nor could we find them anywhere in the cottage. We did do our best to separate the waste when we left, however.
Final thing, though not inherently a downside, the cottage is really out of the way, and to get to it you need to drive for a fair bit on an old road with lots of rocks and gravel, may not be the best for cars not suitable for harsh roads, something to consider if you go for this cottage.
All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away
