Beautifully warm on arrival, which was a dark, wet, fairly cold February night with little children, so that was very welcome. The wood burner was used every day and everyone loved it! It had everything we needed except a freezer, which I realised only after buying some frozen items, annoyingly. We then found the freezer the next day (we think?) in a glazed unit in the dining room. The stairs are pretty narrow/steep so wouldn't suit an elderly person. Travel cot and high chair, not mentioned in listing but handy to know if you're a parent. It was a quirky stay, great view down the hill albeit a hike to walk up it from the main road but perfectly do-able with some rests. Well situated for the cable cars - the line runs up just a few hundred yards away.
The property was perfectly suitable as a base for us - no frills really but it didn't matter. Good entrance hallway with hooks/shelf, for storing gear and generally dropping all the outdoor clobber, it really helped with organisation.
Kitchen was tiny, more like a kitchenette and only suitable for one at a time, but fine for what it was. Freezer was in an odd place so didn't find it until too late (unit in dining room). Kitchen tap was like nothing i've seen before but eventually got used to it. The property decor and furnishings felt 'tired' but everything was perfectly useable. Some of the kitchen cupboard contents were not very clean but no issue, we washed most things before using them anyway.

Lovely views from the front bedroom windows. Lovly fire, nice living room and bedrooms, dining room abit chilly but there is heating.
Very steep hills leading up to property.
Parking is sadly not available. Nearest space we found was a 5 min walk away down a very steep hill

"The view was stunning. Location was excellent, the cottage had everything we needed. The yard to the rear and front was enclosed so was excellent for our dogs. Dog bowls were available.
We had milk, o..."
