We have had an excellent time in the cottage. Everything which needed to be there you could find. With pictures of how it used to be in the house and a full folder with every information of what to find in the house and how to use it, it was more than expected. It was warm and cozy and even with the four of us there was plenty of space to feel comfy. We recommend this place with all our hearts and hope we have the opportunity to come back!
