Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with ample space and a warm atmosphere. However, some reviews mention the need for better mattresses and more warmth upon arrival, indicating that while comfort is generally good, there is room for enhancement.

Dogs loved it plenty of garden to explore. Nice, quiet but local amenities still close at hand. Added bonus that it was a good spot to see the northern lights !! Would definitely come back.

Warm, plenty of hot water, well equipped kitchen. The reasons for low scores above 1. Sitting room carpet covered in dog hair, clearly hadnât been hoovered properly 2. The double beds were great, but the single beds were lumpy & uncomfortable. Rustic doesnât mean worn out! 3. We couldnât find instructions for the oven, it was very difficult to work out how to operate it.
