Unfortunately I didn’t have the most relaxing stay here. The cottage is very sweet, and has everything you could need. However the first night I had trouble getting to sleep as there were two flies buzzing around, and the second I woke up at 2am because a mosquito was biting my face. While I was looking for the mozzie, I found a baby cockroach and a spider. I finally got back to sleep, only to be woken up by a car alarm at 7am that went on for over an hour.
There are also several small, high windows without cover, so the morning light woke me early each day.
Lastly, it doesn’t feel super private. I’d been hoping to enjoy the greenery outside, but had to keep the blind down on the big window most of the day, as there were people socialising out in the courtyard, hanging washing and pottering around.
The art studio also shares a wall with the cottage, and I could hear it being used throughout the day, so making private phone calls felt a bit awkward.
I’d still say it’s great value for money, and a well-equipped quirky little space. But if you’re after somewhere that feels private/quiet or you’re not a fan of bugs, I’d give it a miss.
