The Cottage on the Terrace was exactly as described which means it was comfortable and cosy and had everything we needed. All the condiments and tea and coffee in the kitchen and even milk and juice in the fridge were very much appreciated. The location was great with the hot springs less than 10 minutes away and restaurants and cafes even closer. We would definitely stay here again.

3 matters - I got to stay at Kristine's property. I guess a detail I overlooked was the provision of bed sheets and linen that I had to bring, attach to bedding, remove and clean once I got home. Negative number 2 - no WIFI, having teenage kids they use it excessively and lastly negative no 3 - the location is not close to shops or cafes. Other than this, all good! oh, and lastly there was a blackout that was very brief Next time I will book earlier!
