The setting is stunning and the cottage is spacious full of views and as cozy as can be.
There is loads of open space inside and my six year old daughter was delighted to discover a secret toy closet with particularly fun quality toys.
The river is gorgeous but certainly dangerous as is the riverbank which has some rocks and can be slippery. I was extremely comfortable being there with a young child and we were able to build a campfire and roast smores in a nicely set-up spot.
I would probably not have been very comfortable there with two or more children alone, however with adequate adult supervision it is an idyllic family cottage spot.
The place was great for my visit which was short but is very well equipped and spacious so it would be a good choice I feel for longer stay. It is also an amazing location if you are planning to spend time in St Andrews or visit St Stephens. There's tons of great stuff that's closeby should you choose to leave and it's close to the route junctures if you are exploring other spots day-tripping by car.
