Arrival was uneventful, however when we started meal preparation there was no instructions on how to use the oven or cooktop. Not all of us are familiar with every appliance. I finally resolved it thanks to YouTube. After dinner on night one a large rodent ran through the living area. I contacted Jay who responded promptly & suggested we move into the other cottage which was not practical.
We arrived at the cottage pretty wrung out. This was the whole point of the break, to refresh and reset. So I guess I was on an edge and these things set me off. No further sightings of our 'guest' over the next four days, and our moods became more sanguine and tolerant of surprises.
This place has the most extensive kitchen equipment and tools I have ever seen. Which is good, then nearest restaurant is 30 minutes away so cooking-in was our preference. Everything we needed was on site. Except the BBQ wouldn't function.
Pool is great (clean, refreshing). Walks galore. Toilet works. Feel the serenity.
