On arrival our hosts had provided strawberries, cream, wine, milk and doggy treats which was an amazing welcome. It was very quiet in the cottage even though near a road so don't worry about that. The cottage itself was wonderful with all equipment you could possibly need. Close to lots of small villages and towns and the beach. The hosts even sent us a list of what was going on during our stay in the local area which was extremely helpful and thoughtful. Can't recommend it enough.
