This is certainly a lovely and private location, with quiet neighbours on both sides. The view is spectacular, and there are plenty of bird-watching opportunities to add to the enjoyment. It definitely backs right on the water, and has a very nice, sandy beach. We were fortunate to be among the first to enjoy the new air conditioning system, which came in handy during the very hot days we were there. I slept in the small bedroom, and I can say that there is no noise anymore, thanks to the newly relocated water pump. The living room is cozy, and the dining table nice and roomy. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped, and there are plenty of dishes. We had a few issues with cleanliness which we discussed with Christine, who was very quick to respond to our concerns. The bedrooms were problematic. They are very cramped, with little room for luggage in two of them, and almost no room for luggage in one (which houses the washing machine). The large bed is fine, as is the bottom double of one of the bunk beds, but the top of that bunk bed, and both bunks in the small bedroom are too cramped for adults, with not enough head room to sit up in bed. There is a nice large outside space, but if you are bringing small children, please check with Christine to make sure the lean-to/tarp in the yard and the debris under it have been removed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage to others, keeping the above-mentioned issues in mind.
