The place was very clean and having parking available in the back was a wonderful bonus. Loved the kitchen and bathroom area. It’s very large and well appointed. The jacuzzi bathtub was fantastic. When we arrived there was a box of half a dozen pastries waiting for us. This was a godsend as our plane sat in the tarmac for a couple of hours, not letting anyone off and then it took another hour to get out of the airport. So we arrived very late and nothing was left open to eat.
The only drawback was the loft sleeping area. It is VERY low. You can only sit up in bed if you are sitting in a specific area of the bed. And even then there is only an inch or two of headroom to spare. If there is more than one person sleeping in the bed (like it was with my husband and I) then there will only be about 12 or so inches of space above one of your heads. I did hit my head on the ceiling more than once while trying to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. You have to crawl on your hands and knees to get around the bed and to the stairs. And I’m 5 foot 5 inches tall. My husband is 6 foot 2 inches. So the loft was definitely a problem. The stairs also don’t have an outer railing, which makes them a bit dangerous. We had to hang onto the loft floor to get down the stairs, because the inner railing attached to the wall was loose and wobbled a bit because it wasn’t installed correctly. That made us too nervous to use it. The sofa in the living room does pull out into a bed, so you can bypass the loft all together and just use the sofa bed downstairs. All that being said, it is a very nice cottage and I would recommend.
