The cottage is perfectly situated and everything you need for a few nights stay.There is a problem with wasps coming in the front window. It’s not clear where they are coming from but it needs to be addressed as this is where the table is.The electric tripped mid shower. Voicemails left on both the owners phone and the caretaker. Neither responded. Luckily we were able to sort it.Other than this, the cottage is cute and adequate.

There are beautiful views of the mountains from the front of the house. It's warm, comfortable and clean. We found it a welcoming place to come back to at the end of the day.

Lovely cottage and quiet area. There seems to be a problem with the odd wasp coming in from the chimney, but cottage well equipped to deal with them.
