First off the cottage is beautiful. To be honest there wasn't a fault for us. It's homely and really makes you feel comfortable. Brad was extremely helpful and great to deal with. The only sour note to do with Bothwell was the publican at the bar. He made some "old world" and "out of time" remarks about people's ethnicity, not thinking that they're Australian born. It was awkward. Otherwise Bothwell and the surrounding area is beautiful and the cottage is a great base camp. Handy tip; buy any supplies before hand as there are no major supermarkets.
