I cannot say enough wonderful things about this cottage! The location is excellent, the space itself is blis, my mother and I were loathe to leave and appreciated being able to check out late as no one was checkin in immediately after us. And I say all this having stayed there without power after Storm Amy! The wood stove kept us warm, we still had water, and Des and the neighbors checked in on us. The only problem we had was that we had no cell signal with EE and with the power out we had no wifi. HIGHLY recommend this cottage for your stay!
