The private, self-contained place is exactly what it sounds. Like a little studio apartment. Very cosy, comfortable and warm. The front of the bnb is a nice chill area which would be pretty good to relax during the summer. I did not get to try it because we rented it during a stormy weekend. Wifi works great. Oven with pans are all there if you wanna cook something yourself. Will probably try it out again in the summer season!
