Good location, easy to check in and out andkept us warm in the colder temperatures. Host was friendly and loved the dog!!
The bathroom could have been slightly cleaner, behind toilet etc. other than that, it was great.

Nice and roomy and very quiet. So close to the water.
Had trouble at first checking in, and heater didn’t work. Rectified very quickly though

While not right in the village, the location is very close. The larger unit we stayed in had tons of room, a well equipped kitchen to prepare food in, a good shower, and comfy bed. Lots of space. We used the laundry facility on site which had good sized machines to wash and dry for a modest cost. We had 2 nights there while checking out some walks in the area and it worked really well for us.
No issues.

Location is 5 minutes driving distance to the centre of the town.
There is no AC, so on the hot days, it's not so pleasant. There is a kitchen but no exhaust so the fire alarm kept going on everytime we tried to cook something. We had to restrict our cooking as much as possible.
