8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The location - both scenic and quiet, was perfect. We appreciated the secure yard for our dogs. Will appeal to those who like rustic charm and natural settings. Not modern, but has everything you need.

Great cottage in a beautiful location, rustic with everything you need. Fur baby loved it as well.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The location was really good. However the house was old and was just basic. If you would expect to have a bodywash and a shampoo as a standard it was missing here and there was barely any hand wash and dishwashing liquid left for a 5 night stay. There were food cans and food items in the pantry which had an expiry date back to mid 2024 not that we wanted to use it but they are rotting sitting there. No acknowldedgment of messages by the host for a special request before checkin and after kindly advising that we have checked out. Overall felt no value for the money we spent. There are much better places for this value out there.
